@SatchmoSings Its a temporary wealth - like a loan (an I.O.U). Its also not about the purchase of oil (the US can print money) its about the purchase of US dollars. The world must purchase US dollars to buy oil. If the 13 OPEC countries start selling oil in Euros as Iraq did in 2000, or the push by Libya to sell oil in gold Dinar, or Iran or Venezular wanting to sell oil in a currency other than US dollars.........see a pattern.
Checkout the 'Petrodollar Cycle' and all will become clear.

@dazzagazza6969 I fail to see how this gives the US ANY wealth, let alone for any effort.
Anyway, the US doesn't get its oil from The Middle East, or very little, anyway

@SatchmoSings Google or Youtube 'the Petrodollar'. It will explain all of the USA's foreign policy since 1970. The Petrodollar system has given the USA tremendous wealth for little effort (accept military enforcement of OPEC countries) for the last 40 years. However, unfortunately it will also eventually bring the USA to it knees in the form of a dollar collapse. Greed got the better of the USA which is a shame for democracy.

@SatchmoSings Well, Obama is now the president. The US still needs to borrow more money. Otherwise, how the hell will the US be able to pay for the state-run health insurance? The US has been borrowing money from foreign countries FOR SO LONG because the American government simply does not spend the money responsibly. Even when Democrats are in control, the problems do not get any better.

I'm an American and I think what my country did to Iraq is the most shameful thing imaginable.
That and Pres. Bush fighting this war all with borrowed money while cutting taxes and giving rebates is one of the things that's ruined our ability to continue to borrow on world markets and given us this terrible devaluation of the dollar.

@frogboy7000 good observation, i like when people have an eye for detail

@mark32811 It's good that they challenge the visitors no matter what they believe in. That way the visitors can make their point even stronger. No one would listen to it if they just agreed on everything.
Nigel Farage is such a refreshing change. He is sensible, honest and speaks the truth, a rarity in politics.
