If it passes and they benefit from it then they wont avoid being beneficiaries of it and they’ll keep it

While if they dont know they are beneficiaries of a policy then they’ll proverbially eat their face by removing it

Without Oil is there is no modern civilization. I do not care about your politics.

Even if you replace Oil as source of energy the pervasive petrochemicals in the modern world are not easily replaceable.

America burns 12 calories of energy to transport 1 calorie of food. without Oil subsidies, everything will be expensive and especially food would take a large chunck of American household expenditure.

Quality of life is inversely proportional to the cost of food and energy. The lower the cost the better the life.
