A heard a rumor...

...that a certain billionaire struck an oil deal that is being subsidized by US taxpayer money. It's in the oil fields off Venezuela...now there is un-rest in Egypt, the only country that could shut down the Suez canal and the flow of oil through it.. Can anyone verify this?

If oil cost more per barrel because of instability, the US will go to somewhere more stable for their oil: Venezuela.

It's pretty simple, really.
