The cost of almost everything that you use every day would go down if we were oil independent. Almost everything you use on a daily basis is petroleum based, from plastics to household goods to gasoline, etc. It seems to me that the cost of oil makes everything extremely competitive. And there isn't any country more competitive than the USA.
