No, it is helping america. Gotta have a reason to take over those iraq oil fields... gotta fuel up those SUV's.
Think about it... Give a ridiculous tax break on some of the most gas sucking vehicles on the face of the planet and make the american public need the fuel that much more.
Funny, there are people running their engines on moonshine... and other fuels so why do we still ned oil? Oh yea... so the oil barrons can keep their jobs, start wars and let's see... what else?
