First for all those hippies who think drilling is a horrible idea, try going through the day without an oil byproduct, and unless you live in the middle of the desert and use no oil, rubber, or even plastic. The point is in today's society it is impossible not to use a product that came from oil. Everything from gravel for roads to mascara is a product with oil.
So again why drill? It will boost the economy. If mostly everything is made with oil than if the price of oil rises so does the price of everything else, which inturn makes it harder for every bussiness to hire because they have to spend more money to keep costs managable.
The next reason is to stop sending money to the people who hate America and would rather see us dead. Since over half of the worlds oil comes out of the Strait of Hormuz, which is surrounded by Islamic states, wouldn't just be better for us to reap the benefits. So we don't have to worry when some unrest comes up, like "Arab Spring" and oil prices soar because of some nation's stupidity.
Why won't we drill? Democrats have to keep they're base which are the treehuggers who will probably never vote Republican. And Republicans have always been in the minority the only way for them to win is to either convict the few indepedents, or discurage the opposition from voting.
Drilling, one more solution that the democrats will never try.
