First of all our president should not have the power to control the oil industry or any other business. The president should not be able to say we will prosecute this law and not that one. That is up to us, the legislatures, and the courts.
The democrats for years have been subsidising the oil industry and the republicans have introduced bills in congress to stop the subsidies completely. The stick it up our breezers and we reward them for doing so.
