We-We

Hey, conservatives.
If WE decide to allow drilling in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, will WE actually get any of that oil?

Hint: WE are already drilling and pumping oil out of Alaska by the thousands of barrels a day. Are WE benefiting? No, the oil is being sold to Japan.

If WE decide to allow offshore drilling in the Gulf, will WE actually get any of that oil? Even after the 10 years it'll take to actually get any of that oil?

Hint: WE are already drilling and pumping thousands of barrels a day from the Gulf. Are WE benefiting? No, the oil's going to Europe and China.

You see the problem with all this Repugnicant logic is the WE.

You see, when they say WE, they actually means the oil conglomerates. You know, those companies controlled by those same rich Repugnicants.

What will happen to that new drilling? Will WE get it? Of course not. It will be sold on the world market. At world market prices. It will go to the highest bidder. You know, China, Japan, Europe. Who is the WE that is going to buy out oil back for us? The government?

There is no caveat that oil drilled in the U.S. will stay in the U.S. The government doesn't drill. It doesn't refine. It doesn't sell. It simply allows oil companies to make money from our resources. Once they get it our of the ground, they can do with it whatever they want.

And in the end WE end up getting little or nothing in return.

Thanks for nothing. But WE decline.

And so it goes.
