I really don't understand why we lease our oil to the oil companies and buy it from them at what the market will bear. As much as I'm not a fan of big government, there is no reason why we need Exxon and mobil to drill our own oil and then sell it back to us, or worse yet, sell it abroad.

If we can build stealth fighters, why can't we have a national oil dept that just drills our own oil and only sells it domestically at cost. The entire global econmy is hostage to the greed of the oil markets.
