Dependency on foreign oil no longer a problem, apparently

It’s nice to know that the concern about our dependency on foreign oil is no longer a problem. We know that because Congress voted to give the OK to export domestic oil.

Since no one in their right mind would do that if the problem still existed, it’s nice to know there is one less thing to worry about.
