Random comments, some mine, some from the link, regarding tapping the SRP:
- Tapping the SRP suggests a crisis; tapping the SRP to help the economy confirms economy is in crisis
- Administration confirming economy is in crisis, same as those polled who think US heading for another Great Depression -- "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself"
- 13 days for SRP oil to reach the market
- Americans know that the SRP would have to be refilled -- prices for oil would soar (can you spell "speculator"?) once "we" tap into the SRP
- The last barrel of oil determines the price of oil; even as US releases SRP oil, OPEC could decrease production
- All things being equal, tapping the SRP will not keep up with projected global growth and oil consumption
- What happens when SRP is tapped and price of oil goes up anyway (can you spell "speculator"?)
- Amount of oil tapped from SRP could probably be met by just fast-tracking oil permits
- I can think of few things more idiotic in the world of commodities and economics than tapping into a reserve meant for "emergencies" -- on second thought, I can't think of anything more idiotic
