"Eventually Congress will be forced to get out of the way and allow drilling our OWN oil."

lol... you really believe that?

The greed here in this country is in play.

Whatever the world market value is at, that is what off shore oil will go for.

You are not going to get much of a deal for "your OWN" oil.

I say leave it right in the ground for strategic reasons.

Over time we will learn how to absorb the high prices.
