mendoejoe, more likely they will get MORE benefits. They will be allowed to extract the domestic oil and gas supplies, and sell them on the open market. That should lower crude prices a penny or two because of the greater supply, for a while, but until more oil is refined, gas prices will stay high, and extremely profitable. Free enterpirse at work! It’s your patriotic duty to put all your money into the oil companies’ coffers! Then they can pay puny increases in dividends to their stockholders. Everybody’s happy!
