I hate OPEC because it is a monopoly.
The money I save on gas is available for other investments.
Every dollar not sent overseas, becomes something like 10 dollars floating around in the US economy.
Figure 300 billion not sent overseas becomes 3 trillion floating around in the US economy.
Every year.
With the US national net worth at 60 trillion, elimination of the oil import deficit, as I see it, is the solution to our current economic troubles.
It would also (if applied globally) starve the extremists of the funding to threaten our security.
I did not respond to the poll, but I would guess that would make me a 10, but y'all can tell the "ole redneck" where that puts me and I will fill in the appropriate number.
I looked at the poll again and realized that 10 was free gas, which addresses my real concerns. Although I do not consider myself a liberal environmentalist by any stretch of the imagination, the benefits of dramatic increases in mileage in vehicles (at least 100 MPG per vehicle) would be fantastic.
