Patriots, while you were distracted by other headlines, the Trump administration quietly committed American taxpayers to an astounding $83 billion bill to rebuild Venezuela's crumbling oil infrastructure. That breaks down to roughly $250 per American citizen to subsidize oil operations in a foreign country—while our own roads crumble and schools remain underfunded.
Here's the kicker that should make every hardworking American's blood boil: the oil companies who stand to profit the most from this massive taxpayer-funded rebuilding effort are refusing to pay their fair share. You're being forced to backstop their profits while they rake in billions.
According to explosive reporting from Next News Network's THE RAW FEED, Venezuela needs $183 billion in total infrastructure repairs. Experts estimate it will take 15 years to complete. President Trump claims it can be done in 18 months. But when costs inevitably balloon—and they always do—guess who covers the overruns? That's right, you do.
One Company, Billions in Taxpayer Subsidies
The most outrageous part of this deal? Chevron is currently the only major American company operating in Venezuela. One company. $83 billion of your hard-earned money rebuilding infrastructure that primarily benefits a single corporation. This isn't America First—this is corporate welfare wrapped in the flag.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced a separate $500 billion energy deal, with 31 million barrels heading to U.S. accounts. Energy Secretary Chris Wright claims "the speed of investment change is breathtaking" with Chevron, Shell, Repsol and ENI ready to ramp up immediately.
"By controlling their oil sales, America controls the funds flowing into the country," Wright justified, claiming Venezuela harbors Hezbollah headquarters and supplied oil to Cuba.
But Bloomberg reports that reviving Venezuela's oil industry will take years, limiting any immediate impact on global markets. Meanwhile, Reuters warns "the clock is ticking" as Trump cuts off Cuban oil supplies.
Wealth Transfer Disguised as Foreign Policy
The bottom line is crystal clear: your government committed you to $83 billion rebuilding another country so American corporations can profit without risk. You are the backstop for every cost overrun, every delay, every unforeseen expense.
This is nothing more than wealth transfer from working Americans to oil executives, wrapped in patriotic rhetoric and sold as foreign policy. When will enough be enough, America?
