It seems to me that this is an idea with some merit that we could really expand to include other things such as technology, automobiles, etc., especially with the cooperation of other oil importing nations such as Japan , China , and some European countries. I’m no expert on world economy but it makes sense to me.

OPEC sells oil for somewhere around $138 per barrel.

OPEC nations buy U.S. G rain at $7.00 per bushel.

SOLUTION: Sell our grain to them for $138 per bushel.

Can't buy it? Tough! Eat your oil!
