Nationalize US Petroleum Industry.
US Gov't should take over oil industry. Make export of petroleum and petroleum products illegal.

Oil pumped from US soil or territories must be used here in the US.

Stabilize and lower prices, use profits to satisfy immediate domestic needs (NEw Orleans and debt).

Enough is enough.

1. Why not nationalize the energy industry as a whole?
While we're at it, let's nationalize insurance and medical care. That'd also save a lot of headaches.

Oh, and also, let's nationalize the credit card industry and forgive all debt to households with a less-than-six-figure income.

Revolution now, baby!
