The "principle" of cutting government spending does not apply to lining the pockets of the oil industry, just as it doesn't apply to huge deficits for billionaire tax breaks.

DRILL BABY DRILL is an ideological goal of the Orange Cretin. Whether or not it makes economic sense is besides the point, as long as his actions make environmentalists weep.

Of course, the oil companies will calculate potential profits before making huge investments, but haven't these corporations been clamoring for decades to open the Refuge for extractive industries?
