You seem to think that "it would damage the US economy" means that "oil companies will lose money." Believe me, oil companies are going to make their money no matter how much it costs or who signs what, you don't need to worry about that. Damaging the economy means that low income folks suddenly don't have enough money to feed their family, bring their kids to doctors. People lose their jobs and foreclose their homes (foreclosures are at an all time high in CA as it is). I don't know where you live but last time I checked, food, housing, healthcare, gasoline all still cost money over here. Maybe you'd like to do this to people in your country, but Jack not in my backyard...no way.I have citizenship in Malaysia...don't know why that matters
