David Copperfield makes things disappear. In his last trick, he made airforce jet disappear. One moment the jet was in front of your eyes and the next moment it was gone! Pooofff!
I am not a genius when it comes to numbers and money but I can understand Pooofff. I put cash in pocket each week and by the end of that week, Pooofff the money is all gone. It is like magic.
Now to my point! Our money is going to other countries and in particular the Middle East. It is like magic. The wealth of the United States is being transfered. The concept is really simple. We fill the gas tank of our car regularly. $50.00 is not a lot! Now follow my chain of thought. Out of that $50, $35 dollars was paid for import gas. That $35 went to the Arabs. We drive around town for a week and then we need to fill up our tank again. What have we got to show for the $50 we spent. Nothing! We burnt it all up. It disappeared into the atmosphere. Pooofff! What else happened! The Arabs got an infusion of $35. They have money to spend. We are slowly transfering our money to the Arabs. Then we beg them for more oil to keep things running. I think I just discribed "an oil addict". We have an expensive habit.
So when your local grocer gets purchased by Ishmal the Arab or your local bank becomes known as the MiddleEast Trust Company, remember how it happened.
I know the issue of breaking the "oil habit" is complex but if we don't figure it out, your kids will be wearing a turbans.
The way I got it figured, your hard earned money is disappearing out your tailpipe (Pooofff) and the Arabs are smiling.
Love,
Dad
