Your lame response has nothing, even less than nothing to do with the graph showing how much federal land energy production has dropped and two lame responses, do not make it any less wrong and thats saying somethin.

As for your response, lets see the math. Our war ships are probably out there for more than oil.
In addition, our # 1 source of oil is Canada and # 2 is Mexico. ME crude is a bit farther down the line. The amount of gasoline and taxes per gallon needed to pay for naval security is probably minor. Producing more oil here, would lower it further, because supply coming here would be sold to someone else and we would not require as much naval support.

Oil jobs are some of the highest pay and a small tax would go a long way to paying off the debt.
