3/19 I'm really worried about the economic impact of the war. Bush still
hasn't given us concrete numbers of how much this all costs. I've
heard $100 billion tossed around. Where the hell is that going to
come from? social security? Medicare? Cutting foreign aid?
Printing more money? After the last gulf war there was a brief
rally in the stock market and we plunged deeper into recession after
that. I think the same will happen again.
\_ Not to mention that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia ended footing much of
the bill for the last Persian Gulf excursion. In other words, we
never actually saw the whole cost last time. We're on our own this
time, monetarily.
\_ What do you mean "saw the whole cost". We made money last
time.
\_ I've already bought a few blocks of halliburton and others.
\_ After all this time I can't believe that you are still in the
dark on this. Its all about the OIL! He's going to take all of
Iraq's oil and sell it and use the money to pay off the national
debt and give all his zionist-fat-cat-worker rich cronies a huge
tax break so that they can all buy new Escalades and drive over
the poor workers-of-the-world who are trying to unite in order to
form a more perfect commune. |
