#2 You're welcome.

However, point of order. Washington is not flooding the market with cheap oil. The Dakotas maybe and a couple of other states, but Washington has been working the paper as best they can to stop it.

#5 Venezuela has its governmental a$$ in a crack. They made a deal to have Chicoms buy the oil for loans and such. Basically they are selling it to keep the cash flowing. Now the price is down, they are getting the squeeze. The Maduroites are screwed.

#8 Steve, it ain't that simple. In 1993 Venuzuela's economy was centrally planned, but it worked a lot better. It was centrally planned for the benefit of Venezuelans rather than Russians, Chinese, and Saudis. Noone really knows who Maduro is really working for, just that it ain't Venezuela.

#9 What does it matter to you? Your are only at 20% capacity with your wells, and that nasty oil costs too much to refine.

Make your own economy.
