Has the US gone communist yet? It's hard to tell.

Riddick, I am very well aware that the oil industry uses the government. Just look at the OP. If you calculated middle eastern stabilization costs the price of gas would be around $4.50 a gallon. If you have links you would like to show me feel free to post them. However, preach anarchocapitalism or pseudo-anarchocapitalism all you want but it simply won't happen. I think even you, pvn borodogg, and natedogg can agree with that. So you have to work with what we are given. And given our available options, don't you think a energy manhatten project is a simple yet effective sollution? Grant funding in the energy field certainly has a good track record. Keeping things realistic, what better way is there to increase capitalism and competition?
