China buying more and more oil and how this affects the Americas. Seems to feed into our recent conversations rather appropriately. China has more money to spend (gotten from us), they buy more of world's oil share (which means less going to us). Prices go higher globally. More money flows into Middle eastern pockets, who then use it to fund terrorism against us. Back home, our prices of everything rise because of fuel costs. Our standard of living goes down becasue we can't afford gas for the cars, fuel for the homes, food for the table (because of transportation costs and growing farming expenses etc). Interesting cycle huh?
