Ok, our dependency on oil is one of the many holes we've gotten ourselves into by focusing too much of foreign policy instead of development of technology. It's not even the deficit.. it's the need for more and more oil. Even if we could pay for all the oil we're borrowing, we'd still need more and more, which forces us into more foreign campaigns. It's not my job to surmise WHY we do this, though i can toss up a few ideas.
