There's a very simple answer to how we came to have an oil shortage in the US

Nobody bothered to check the oil.

We didn't know we were getting low. The reason for that is purely geographical. Out oil is located in Alaska, California, coastal Florida, coastal Louisiana, Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma, but our dipsticks are located in Washington DC.

Cute. Reminds me of the Smothers Brothers routine:

You know, you can tell a person's power by the clothes they were. Your normal everyday folks: they don't wear so many clothes, so they're the less-ons.

So whose running the country?

The morons.
