If that's a serious question - - -

First, where do you think all the oil money is? Sitting in bags of gold under some sand dunes?

What would happen to the US economy if there were a boycott much like that of South Africa? What would happen to the stock prices, bond prices, property values, arms industry?

The US has had a negative balance of payments for a long, long time. Do you think that's just a statistic without any implications?

There is a whole bunch of the US economy which is now effectively under foreign control.

They could screw it up big, big time, and with the cash wind up with a lot more.
