In the last 8 years alone, we have gone up 20% on a importation of oil on a BARREL basis, now multiply this by the increase in a cost per barrel. Show me our growth of exports with our growth of imports and then you have information. This is just data.</p> Considering how much our currency has dropped in value, this is actually a piss poor performance.
