They aren't DNC talking points, you willful IDIOT!
They are figures from the Energy Information Administration, an agency
of the U.S. Department of Energy. They are "official energy statistics
of the U.S. government".

I know where you are trying to steer that mangled sentence. I thought
the same thing when I read z's first post in this thread. But what you
have to realize and what you can't hide from is the fact that US is
consuming 7.5 *billion* barrels of oil a year and only has 21 billion of
reserves.

Wake up, Eddie. It's not the fault of the Democrats that the US only has
21 billion barrels of crude oil reserves.
