Bizarre... and wrong, IMHO.

The current administration does not support drilling in Alaska or off of our own shores, but is okay with loaning Brazil $2B to do it, which could position them as the largest oil exporter in the world?

I guess the positive side to this is that if it is found, Brazil isn't a Middle Eastern nation so the political issues surrounding purchasing oil from them would be much tidier.

But if it's wrong for us to do it, why are we backing *them* to do it?
