(Before It's News)

Poetic justice: Saudi Arabia has flooded the world market with crude oil in order to drive down the price in an attempt to drive U.S. producers of expensive shale oil out of business. But the supply chain can only absorb only so much oil, and the price drop has severely hurt the Saudi bottom line, so much so that they are running a government deficit and will actually have to enter the international debt market to run the country this year. And crude prices look to be heading back up by the end of the year.
