One Simple Fact

One simple fact can inspire so many good questions.... like this one:

The United States burns up almost 21 MILLION barrels of OIL per day, the equivalent of the consumption of China, Japan, Germany, Russia, and India combined.

and/or this one:

The United States owes $10.040 trillion, nearly a quarter of the global debt total of $44 trillion.

and the figures for weapons sales worldwide reinforces the extent to which the U.S. economy is "militarized". without which, San Antonio would shrink to a few dozen buildings surrounding a famous old Spanish Mission.
