Default Off shore drilling

Can someone explain to me why in the hell we are loaning money to another country to drill offshore, when we can't drill off our own shore.

And sense we are 12,000,000,000,000 dollars in debt, maybe we should send that money to china, before they repossess us.

If the world economy crashes because American citizens spend way beyond there means, what happens when our own government can't control their spending?

This is fucking ridiculous. Where the hell is all this money going to come from? I refuse to pay 50% federal taxes to make up for all this insane government spending because our politicians can't cut back.

Actually, it's brilliant! Face it, oil will be in demand for a long time, even with new technologies coming out here and there. Lets use everyone else's oil up first, then we can tap our reserves and make money! Plus we can refuse to sell to countries we don't like.......what will they do, fight us? They won't have gas to get here!

True, although I still don't think we should be giving away money(I bet we never get paid back) Our money tree is running out.

Cuba's been drilling off the coast of Florida, where we have banned ourselves for a few years. Gotta love the mental retardation of the dumbocrats and green party

I think he is saying if we loan them the money for the oil drilling that we won't get paid back.

That makes sense, you know with all the green jobs Obama has created. He's completely eliminated our need for evil oil.
