#2 Thanks, TW, oops, Pappy... (or both. I'm not sure my monitor is showing the hightligh color properly.)

The Chinese have about a thirty billion a month trade deficit with us, and part of the reason is because they're able to resell Venezuelan oil that cost them $ 10.00/bbl for 45.00/bbl up here. Unless they finished their refineries and they're using it for feedstock to make all the plastic stuff they sell us.

Be a noninterventionist if you want, but in deal-making terms, we're the patsies at the moment.
