Al Watan Newspaper Oil Prices Cartoon

In Al Watan newspaper there was a cartoon published that reflected what a lot of Saudis are feeling, so much that it is making the rounds by Email. I thought I might share it here to help wipe out the misconception that Saudis are gaining anything from the rise in oil prices.  It pretty much speaks for itself but for those of you who are gullible enough to think that oil money goes directly to Saudi pockets I’ll explain. The rise in oil means a rise in transportation, food prices and the majority of all industries. And we like all the rest of the human race use these on a daily basis. So we are having our own little inflation party just like everywhere else. To me this is not all bad because the faltering economy will help push social change in the right direction.
