That is not really true these days. The US is very close to Carter's
goal of making the US energy independent. The only glitch is oil
itself, overall, with nat gas exports, we are "net" energy
independent. The Keystone pipeline would actually make us a net energy
exporter again.

That fact is not lost on the arabs and it is apparent at the pump
today.

Actually when I look at who plays ball these days, that is not a "buy
American" plan either.
Go to a NASCAR race !

Several years ago before Toyata was part of Nascar there was debate
on the whether a Japanese car should be allowed. The cars used as
models
for Nascar stock cars then were the Chevrolet Monte Carlo built in
Canada, the Ford Fusion built Mexico and the car in question was the
Camry built in Tennessee.

PS. I could have some facts wrong but the point that is, both the Ford
and Chevy were built in other countries and the Camry was built in
the US.





I'm surprised you righties like NASCAR so much, what with the cars
only turning left.


They don't just turn left, what's with asking stupid questions about
something you know little about, and care less about?




They make some right turns on some tracks.



I went to a Daytona 500 some decades ago. All the turns around the track
were towards the left. Not my favorite kind of motor racing.



Turning to the left? Has to make you gloriously happy.
