Well I'm not going to criticize the business deal, because its money coming back to the USA, I'd prefer if the money for this deal was coming from Americans.
Abu Dhabi Investment Council is negotiating an $800 million deal for a 75 percent stake in the Chrysler Building.
the Abu Dhabi Investment Council's larger sister, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority took a 4.9 percent stake in Citigroup for $7.5 billion
General Motors Building, has just closed. Mort Zuckerman, along with Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and funds based in Qatar and Kuwait bought that building for $2.9 billion.
The fund, with an estimated $875 billion in assets
So we buy oil from the arabs at an inflated rate, because we cant drill for oil here, and they use our own money to buy our own assets from us.

The foreigners have a LOT of these green paper IOU nothings called US dollars and they're using them to buy stuff.
The tidal wave of fiat currency is washing back ashore. Budweiser is going DOWN soon (be bought out)
I'm on board with what you said except for this...

Most of us do not live in excess. As a matter of fact, we're budgeting every penny to make ends meet and, still, we're just getting by. Do we deserve it? Hell no. For once, I'd like to know what excess is like.
Millions and millions of Americans are hurting and will continue to hurt who have never known the concept of excess. It's getting worse, and no one in Washington appears to care. If ignorance is voicing the only voice we have by voting and writing letters to those who claim to manage this country well, then let the ignorant give up on government and overthrow it. Because if the economy continues to spiral down the track it is now on, those 'ignorant and deserving' Americans who entrusted this nation's leaders with power will eventually lose all faith in American government when they finally are unable to put food on the table.
Mind you, CrazyJay, I'm hoping and guessing you did not mean 'ALL' Americans deserve this mess. But I've heard this 'deserve' bit before and it struck a chord. America doesn't deserve to suffer at the hand of corporate and foreign greed inasmuch as America deserve terrorist attacks killing thousands of souls.
However, it is indeed time that the American voice be heard in large numbers and that's gonna take getting off our American butts and give Washington a piece of our mind. Collectively. Loud and firm!

all this tells me is that we need to start drilling more inside of our own borders and seas for use in the USA.

This won't affect the situation much, but I agree that increased drilling in addition to decreased consumption could work together.
