Get the lube ready, corporate fascists are going to drill US taxpayers

Trump suggests US taxpayers could reimburse oil companies for repairing Venezuelan infrastructure
In an interview with NBC News on Monday, Donald Trump suggested that US taxpayers could fund the rebuilding of Venezuela’s infrastructure for extracting and shipping oil.

Trump acknowledged that “a lot of money” will need to be spent to increase oil production in Venezuela, but suggested the US government could pay American oil companies to do the work.

“A tremendous amount of money will have to be spent and the oil companies will spend it, and then they’ll get reimbursed by us or through revenue”, the president said.
