Oil and Teaching

I decided to do some figuring on the issue of oil and drilling in the United States. We send about $700 Billion overseas. Now if we drilled in the United States and that $700B was then eventually all spent in the US. This number would be evetually be taxed by states in the form of sales tax.

The amount taxed would be enough for every state to hire 35,000 new teachers. Or if they really wanted, every teacher could be given a gold bangle as a nice bonus.


Have a happy day.
