The most important members of OPEC are the Democrats in Congress. OPEC functions by keeping oil off the market to raise prices. The Democrats in the US Congress have kept far more oil off the Market than any OPEC Nation.

They prefer Tyrant oil to US oil. Even though the money goes into the pockets of anti-American Tyrants — or perhaps because it does. When I hear Democrat members of congress want to nationalize the US oil companies — recreate the amazingly corrupt patronage system of Mexico’s PEMEX in the US, (Peeonus) I really have to wonder.
