“Petrodollars are buying the Democrat party and our government. “

I wasn’t aware of Arab’s giving money, but I am not surprised. What I am aware of is that now America is one of the world’s leading oil producers it is absolutely vital that we convert our economy to zero oil usage in just ten years.

Amazing how that works.

The Petro dollar really has little to do with our dependence on oil. It has to do “forcing” the world to use dollars to purchase oil. That makes the dollar the de facto reserve currency for the world. This insures that the dollar can be inflated, so as to make paying debt back cheaper over time. This is the entire concept behind keeping inflation around 2%.

If we become the worlds largest oil producer, it simply keeps the scheme going.

Sorry to digress off the main topic, but this is important to understand.
