Are you having trouble understanding that foreign aid and oil are 2 totally different things and one has very little to do with the other?

Earlier you said "the 700 billion is foreign aid"
You do realize that our foreign aid budget is somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 billion per year. (50 billion if you count pentagon "peacekeeping" work as foreign aid)
The 700 billion referred to in the T Boone Pickens ads is the amount we spend on imported energy......which is why I said earlier that we wouldn't get 700 billion to put into our schools or anything else if we were energy independent.
We would be spending that money with U.S. companies instead of foreign ones, and there's benefits to that of course, but it's not going to improve our schools. Two different things.
