Keep in mind that our Alaskan Oil is exported to Japan...In turn, Japan buys lots of U.S. treasury debt...

22.2% other products, including those derived from petroleum for the manufacturing of chemicals, synthetic rubber, and plastics... BUT the U.S. Energy Information Association - Does not have data on the quantity of plastics materials and resins produced in the United States and in other countries or data on the origin of all the plastic products used in the United States.

Include all plastics consumed and used then you will find my "50% of all imported oil is used for plastics!"
