My husband also told me there are separate roads and highways exclusively for the Saud family....that seems backward to me.

Islam has never been about social equity.



The Saudi Royal family are despotic thugs, and all western nations should sever connections with its government.

Then why is this article claiming trillions? https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2016/04/22/u-s-hostage-to-china-and-saudi-arabia-but-only-one-seems-to-matter/#186dab4f2af0">https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/ ... 6dab4f2af0">https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2016/04/22/u-s-hostage-to-china-and-saudi-arabia-but-only-one-seems-to-matter/#186dab4f2af0





U.S. 'Hostage' To China And Saudi Arabia, But Only One Seems To Matter




The U.S. is somewhat hostage to just two countries in this world -- China and Saudi Arabia. But only one has the backing of the nation's elite, including The New York Times. And it ain't China.



.....China has yet to give up on the U.S.  It used to lag behind Japan as the single largest foreign buyer of Treasury debt. Now it's equal to or greater than Japan with about $1.4 trillion in U.S. bonds. Americans have no idea how much the Saudis own, but are consistent in our worries about China.

As of March 2016, the U.S. government owes almost $19 trillion to creditors in both long and short term debt. China owns a very small portion of that. Most U.S. debt is held by U.S. banks and U.S. households......

The Saudis loan the banks money, in turn the banks loan money for housing... that's how it works.

A picture taken on April 21, 2016 shows US President Barack Obama (L) meeting with Saudi King Salman (R) during the US-Gulf Cooperation Council Summit in Riyadh. No body knows for sure just how much U.S. Treasury debt the Saudi government is holding, but it is estimated to be around $600 billion. (Photo by JIM WATSON/AFP/Getty Images)





But nobody really knows... sound comforting?



Of course the kids born now will have to pay the debt... none of us will.

Owning US debt makes foreign Treasury Bond holders tied to US success. It's a good strategy, but it has definite pitfalls.

None of us today will have to pay it.. the children of today will be expected to pay it. Children who aren't even born yet will pay.





It's probably why they're all pushing for war which is now more inevitable than ever.

Yeah... I agree it's exploited especially by foreign doctors who shouldn't be here but be back home in their shithole countries.
