I believe your reasoning is distorted by not having my experiences.
I didn't think you understood about the Oil. It's not the oil, it's what currency the oil can be paid for. We used to have a gold standard to back our dollar. We no longer have that. The thing that makes the dollar worth more than paper is, you need it to buy oil. So back in the old days there was a golld dollar, there is now a oil dollar. Did you ever wonder why we invaded Iraq instead of Saudi? Most of the 9 11 terrorist came from Saudi. It's because we have a agreement with Saudi that they can only sell oil for US dollars, Iraq didn't. ^ou can believe that or not. You will have company. A lot of people got fooled.
