It’s a win-win-win for contractors, lobbyists, and Congress. The loser? American taxpayers who have to pay for this corrupt war profiteering.”

I'm trying to be careful how I talk about #OilPrices. I want #Americans to understand that there is a #CostOfWar in their lives, even if it's miniscule in comparison to the impact on people's lives in #Iran.

I want to avoid helping the #USA use oil prices as a #pretext for reopening the #StraitOfHormuz by force. And I worry that's the takeaway most Americans would have.
