In fact, it would be better if we just didn't have to deal with them at all, but economics dictates we must. One thing is for sure: MSB must go!

Yes, the Saudis are getting ready to spend alot of cash on US products. Not as much as suggested, but alot anyways. However, it is over a very long period of time (probably 10 years or so). And quite honestly it is in about two industries. Defense, and Aerospace (airliners). While that effects the top 20% of wage earners to some degree, the effect on blue collar would be limited. And to some extent, the ways those industries work is that if you don't sell to customer "A", then you go to customer "B" and sell to them instead. The only people who should worry much are the top 20%, and they're doing just fine right now.

The people most directly affected would be people with the last name of "Trump".

I have long questioned why we invaded Iraq and not Saudi Arabia.
