re: West Texas oil patch seeking bailout

As someone in the industry, don't bail the industry out. Simply tax the piss out of OPEC+ oil imports.

American jobs and American dollars stay at home, we become energy independent, no more of our young men and women have to die in the Middle East.

Our refineries don't work that way. It gets exported because we can't run titanic amounts of the light crude coming out of West Texas. They're eating as much of it as they can.
