we don't have our own (or enough of it)
Not quite. Most of the third world countries we get our oil from-Mexico, Angola, Algeria, or Venezuela can pay people a quarter of what we would have to pay oil rig workers here in the US and get away with it. Texas and New Mexico still have the resources under the ground, but it is just way to expensive for US crews to get it out!
