Is it my faulty recall or
was inflation lower l980-88 than l989-92? I remember housing prices sunk
horribly low in those latter years. What is the relationship between the
cost of living in the US and the amount of oil production in the Middle
East? Terry

Here's some
data for all you spreadsheet/dbf fans. It shows how much oil
is
gained from generalised sources. You can go to the source URL and
find out
other interesting bits and bytes of information like jet fuel,
heating oil,
nat'l gas and the like. Just think though: if some
Middle Eastern nations
were denied a credible source of income for a while
(check out the Reagan
years, 1980-88), things might be thought of a little
differently. Note that in
the Bush years (1989-1992), the Middle
Easterners produced near enough DOUBLE
what they did the previous eight
years -- near enough.
About a year and a half ago, I posted a brief
rationalisation for the 'Gulf
War', portrayed in one single photograph of
GHW Bush on what I recall was a
Kuwaiti oil derrick. 'Nuff
said. A<>E<>R

(a)
On December 31, 1992, Ecuador withdrew as a member of OPEC. As
of
January 1, 1994, imports of petroleum from
Ecuador appear under imports
from Non-OPEC
sources. On December 31, 1994, Gabon withdrew as a
member
of
OPEC. As of January 1, 1995
imports of petroleum from Gabon appear under
imports from Non-OPEC sources.
(b) Excludes petroleum imported into
the United States indirectly from members
of the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC),
primarily
from
Caribbean and West European
ares, as petroleum products that were refined
from
crude oil produced by OPEC.
Notes: Beginning in October 1977,
Strategic Petroleum Reserve imports
are
included.
Geographic coverage is the 50 States and the District
of
Columbia. Totals
may not equal sum of components due to
independent
rounding.
