I know im only 17 and im not as smart as most of you but it seems like we have billions of barrels of oil saved up in order to protect the US in times on crisis such as gas prices sky rocketing, oil being cut off from other countries ect. I thought the whole reason for saving this oil was to help keep gas prices down and to help the average US citizen who doesnt have 150 million dollars afford gas so they can actually get to there jobs. And ive recently been told that there might be a shortage of gas around my area. A lot of gas stations might not even be able to sell gas. Im not that old and most people probly wont even listen to me but DOESNT THIS SEEM LIKE A TIME OF CRISIS WHEN YOU CANT EVEN FILL UP YOUR OWN VEHICLE TO GET TO YOUR JOB AND MAKE YOUR MONEY? This is really pissing me off. How can people shrug this off or put it off for another day. The time to use this oil is now, the time to shoot and get rid of these gang bangers is now. Im tired of this sh*t. This all seems like commen sense to me. Is it really hard to help the american citizen by giving them cheaper gas? So far ive seen states doing more then the government is even talking about. We saved this oil for times of need and crisis and right now gas prices have doubled and in some places tripled literally overnight and they dont think this is a time of need? What is wrong with people.
Mich, never start a statement with "I'm 17 and not smart". That's just being condescending. If you have something pertinent to say it doesn't matter if you're 7 or 77.
As for the US oil reserves. They are for when we really have troubles. Did you have trouble getting gas this morning? I didn't. Just bring money and they gaive it to you, as much as you want. Want to fill a barrel, have at it. Being 17 you don't know what a gas shortage or an oil embargo feel like. Try sitting in a line for a hour or two to get rationed 5 gallons per customer because the station hasn't seen a truck this week. Then ask the government to help. Right now it's nothing but a money issue, not a supply issue. Not a crisis, yet.
