We're broke. The massive subsidies propping up the record profit-taking of the oil industries must stop. Why does the number one company in profit in the country need billions in subsides? Let's end those subsidies, and use that money to pay down the deficit.

ah... no not exactly...but nice spin.
You demonize Oil & Coal and yet neglect to mention that Renewables are highly subsidized too.
If you leveled the playing field and let the best form of energy survive - it will - and it won't be Renewables.
If you had to pay the actual cost for Renewable Energy you wouldn't turn on your plasma TV.
