Lack of oil supplies negatively impacts the economy. It causes the price of a barrel of oil to increase substantially, causing a ripple effect that increases the price of gasoline and other hydrocarbon fuels. The increase in the price of gasoline, in turn, causes the price of transportation to inflate making it more costly to transport goods, people, and materials from place to place. This domino effect then causes the price of many goods and services to also increase, forcing the average American to purchase less and therefore, stagnating the economy. However, if American’s would allow the government to drill for oil in Alaska, the increase in the supplies of oil would drive down the prices of oil, and consequently, goods and services. This would allow American’s to purchase more and stimulate the economy leading to economic growth and prosperity. Obviously, drilling for oil in Alaska would certainly help boost America’s economic health.

I liked your syllogisms, the logic is real good and clear, and I liked your paragraph as well. Good work
You did a really good job forming your syllogisms and then you applied the one about the economy effectively. You also did a good job of avoiding the passive voice. Well done…nice title too.
like the title... And your syllogisms make sense, unlike a lot of others on here. Way to point out the love of oil in america
Your syllogisms are very clear and make complete logical sense; great job! Your paragraph was very logical and followed your ideas well.
I think you got it. the syllogisms are so very simple and flow naturally . keep your paper like this and you'll succeed.
One of the greater titles ever written. Your syllogisms are excellent as well; they have a logical flow and it's extremely difficult to disagree with them. Bueno paper my friend.
