I had dinner with my brother and some friends last night. Someone mentioned that we needed a war to jumb-start the economy.

Because the two wars we’re already in have done such a great job of jump starting the economy? Seriously – what was your brother thinking is currently happening in Afghanistan and Iraq?

It might work if there were (had been) domestic cutbacks at the same time the defense spending skyrocketed… Instead we had the two wars put on the nations credit cards – and now the bills are coming in. No one wants to cut back on the war, or anywhere eles.
