If the Country is addicted to oil...

[imported_I, fuzzbot.]

Some old guy I was talking to last night said that the U.S. probably has plenty of its own oil. The mentality is to use up everyone else's first. Starting with those you deem least important.

We've been finding and trying to maintain other natural resources so that our economies (and lives) wouldn't be highly dependent on oil as well.

We're paying more attention to our aluminum and gold. I don't know what Saudi's up to, and quite frankly I don't really give a damn. The money invested is going towards bigger and better military forces, since we all took what happeend to Iraq as a lesson. Qatar and Saudi have the biggest oil reserves in the world, probably, I can't see them ever running out before 2050 or so. Qatar is doing the smart thing by saving most of it, whereas Saudi keeps whoring it out.
