I am so damn fed up of Democrats continuing to say the same thing again and again. “If we drill for oil in the gulf or in Alaska it will be 10 years before we see that oil, so why should we bother.”

There are two serious problems with that statement.
One:
What the fuck are you going to do 10 years from now? Seriously, we have to start finding some new domestic oil now regaurdless of how long its going to take.

Two:
It is glaringly obvious that there is no way in hell it will take 10 years to get oil pumped from the gulf or from Alaska.

Why does the 10 year statement keep coming up? Because our Democrats are pulling numbers from the last major oil project that the US embarked on and completed in 1977. From discovery of oil (1968) to completion of the project it took just under 10 years to complete the Alaskan Pipeline. So the politicians are basing their facts on labor, technology and processes that were put into place 40 years ago.
