“see if this makes any sense: Uncle Sam gives billions of dollars to Russia in foreign aid; Russia then uses American money to build weapons. Uncle Sam then gives billions of dollars to China through the most-favored-nation trade program; China then buys weapons from Russia with money made in America. Now, China makes money, Russia makes money, and, meanwhile, to stay afloat, America borrows money from Japan. America then uses that borrowed money from Japan to protect Japan and to protect Japanese oil in the Persian Gulf. That is right, Japan gets 95 percent of their oil from the Persian Gulf. Meanwhile, back in America, Americans are not only paying higher fuel taxes, they are now paying $2 for a gallon of gasoline. Beam me up here. Somebody in Washington, DC, does not need to see any more economists, they need to visit a proctologist. Folks, this thing is all screwed up. I yield back the balance of all these Btu's.”
