It's amazing that we know oil is there but we don't touch it. Should we have an obligation to help the people in this country? I believe so, however, we don't. We are dependent on oil for now so why should we give this money to another country who uses it to hurt us. In those two states there is enough oil to supply the world even with the growing demand for a 100 years. This does not include the oil in Alaska or off the coast where there is another trillion barrells of oil at minimum. The problem is going to come when the other countries run out of oil and know we have this reserve and don't touch it. Although we do not want to be dependent on oil we need to make things better but we can't do it when we are all hurting. What are we waiting for?
