  1. Nationalizing oil sounds good to a socialist/progressive, but you just end up replacing oil companies with government bureaucrats, who make up the rules as they go along. If a company pollutes too much, it can cost them everything. If the government pollutes too much, you get an "... and that's a GOOD thing" speech. You know what makes the oil in the ground worth something? Somebody investing in extracting and refining it. You know. Like a business. When you put the government in charge of producing something, quality and quantity both go down. You can keep prices down, indefinitely, if nobody notices that the government makes up the difference by taxing everybody - or worse - borrowing. Everybody thinks it's cheaper, because they don't notice all the hidden costs they're paying. That's the nature of government intervention. Parade the people you help in front of the cameras, but hurt everybody a little bit to make those photo ops possible. Those little hurts add up, but they're so spread out, the government escapes blame. Meanwhile, grandma's buying cat food because she can't afford tuna.
