Outsourcing jobs or not doesn't directly have much to do with recycling petrol billions moved from the US to the ME to pay for our gas consumption. I am talking about assets and major services here and for recycling purposes both of those must be on US soil. As for paying taxes, US income is taxed. Unless that income come from exports, but the bilateral talks with and looming retaliation duties from the EU will soon put an end to thus add to US corporate taxation. Now you guys do love that, right? With that said, anybody has a clue how we could recycle the billions of petro dollars now hoarded in the ME? Last time we had same problem in a big way the Japanese were holding the funds. The solution back then: We sold US real estate to them at overly inflated prices. Next that market tanked, the Japs took billions in write-offs and eventually sold back to us at a fraction of what they had paid. Could that success be repeated? Taro

Imagine a glacier covered volcano...not a good match for typical Italian quickies. Taro A virile, young Italian gentleman named Guido was relaxing at his favorite bar in Rome, when he managed to attract a spectacular young blonde. Things progressed to the point where he invited her back to his apartment, and after some small talk, they retired to his bedroom where he rattled her senseless. After a pleasant interlude, he asked with a smile, "So...you finish?" She paused for a second, frowned, and replied,- - "No." Surprised, the young man reached for her and the rattling resumed. This time she thrashes about wildly and there are screams of passion. The rooting ends, and again, the young man smiles, and again he asks, "You finish?" And again, after a short pause, she returns his smile, cuddles closer to him, and softly says, - - "No." Stunned, but damned if this woman is going to outlast him, the young man reaches for the woman yet again using the last of his strength, he barely manages it, but they end together, screaming, bucking, clawing, and ripping the bed sheets. The exhausted man falls onto his back, gasping. Barely able to turn his head, he looks into her eyes, smiles proudly, and asks again, "You finish?" Barely able to speak, she whispers in his ear,- "No,- I SWEDISH".
