Hemet-Dennis,I stand corrected,,no alaskan crude oil has been sold to Japan since 2000,We do export about 1/2 of the refined petroleum products we refine tho and do sell 25,000 barrels daily to Canada.
According to the CIA's World Factbook, the U.S. exported 1.048 million barrels of crude per day in 2004 - which amounts to about 12 percent of domestic production - and imported 13.15 million barrels a day that same year. It's unclear how much of the exported oil originated in Alaska.
A group of oil companies paid for the pipeline to be built in the late 1970s at a cost of $8 billion. Interest holdings in the pipeline have changed hands several times and today three companies own much of the pipeline and most of Alaska's oil leases: BP PLC, Exxon Mobil Corp. and ConocoPhillips.

Interesting notation from Forbes today on Rush Limbaughs show,the Govt website was strategically set not to operate once the stalemate began,with the purpose of the american people not being able to see the real cost they would incurr with Obamacare.Pres said on his re-election platform the true savings of this program,which is now a hoax. Another fact on his show today is 46% of the population recieves govt assistance in one form or another.Guess that leaves the other 54% like me and my family footing part of the bill for those unwed mothers with 4-5 kids all with diffrent last names?? When is it my responsibilty or whom voted that everyone else should help support girls like this?
Children born in circumstances like this has statistics that 80% will become likely to be govt supported thru welfare,food stamps,and whatever other govt handouts come to pass.My daughter just completed her college phsycology term paper on children born to one single parent and other stats she found and documented are jaw dropping. She recieved an A on this paper,and had to prove her fact sources,so once again what elected official says it's my duty to support this kind of parent and her children?
Trefoil,,if the govt would cut taxes on business,they would expand,creating new jobs. The Obama camp has done little or nothing to create new jobs.Mrs Obamas new school lunch program is so disliked by children,it too is a major taxpayer failure.School lunches has dropped dramatically because of the new menu.Really,what have the O'Bamas accomplished? Giving the country a credit card with no spending limit has to cease. One state senator on the radio today said that the total taxes collected yearly will cover 80% of the budget,the remaining 20% can come from social security bonds issued years ago,,so there would be "no deficet" but Obama wants an open ticket with no set guidlelines to keep a budget on anything.The only budget Obama ever has presented was shot down so badly,he hasn't done much since.This man who likes to say there will be "No Negotiations" in his policies needs to stand back and consider who is really paying for this.I also heard O'Bamas mother in law has been living inside the white house all this time too,,at our expense.Bet she don't eat lunchmeat or pbj sandwiches either.How much is this costing you and me? We as the voting populus have so very little to say or do,once these elected officials comes into office.
There is no accountability and recourse,they just do as they please at our expense.The link earlier about the Govt getting into our pension money makes me sick as well.Ever get the feeling we are all just pawns,and their use of the word "taxpayer" is just another word to calm the waters? 70% disapproval rating of the Republicans that stood their ground on giving the pres an open unlimited spending checkbook,,causing govt shutdowns.I'm one of the 30% that's glad they done this,it wakes the public up to hidden facts,especially about Obamacare and hows it's now not what we were told at election time.When inflation finally does take over,noone in office will say it was their fault.When we reach 25% unemployment,who then will think NAFTA helped generate free and equal trade across all borders? When our jails are full of illegal immigrants and criminals and we must feed and house them for years,at taxpayer expense,who then will say allowing them to enter the country to work was beneficial?When all our next meals comes from soup kitchens,who can we blame then?
