I have been advocating the paying of royalties directly to the citizens of the US ever since I found out that Alaska does this, about 6 months ago.
The other night, Lou Dobbs went on record as stating the same thing. The oil companies should directly pay the owners of the oil (that would be us) not the Federal government.
I will take it one step further. All the oil production should be used to provide the US with all its needs BEFORE being allowed to export it. Everyone talks about it being a global market as though nothing can be done to change it. The other thing that needs to be done is to get rid of Obama so that we can once again begin drilling for oil on Federal lands.
P.S. Obama claims that oil production is up since he took office. He says this as though he had something to do with it. He did NOT. The oil exploration that is now taking place is all due to the Bush administration because it takes a few years to gear up and drill for oil. Obama is lying to our faces. Furthermore, all in increased production occurring today comes from PRIVATE land. Production of oil from Federal land has decreased dramatically under Obama, and his lies don't change that fact.
