Reply #69: Oh please. Tons of people have been saying just that. I am not the first. [View All]

Read the economists. I think there was even a document posted here in the last few weeks that went into the Bubble 1/3 of all SS would create for the market. But thanks for sort of implying I was sort of an intellectual or original. Made me feel all warm inside for a second.

The big War in Iraq pushed off the first recession. That is why neocons talk about perpetual war and perpetual markets. When they have labor at stagnant or lower wages (as the competition is global) the economy can withstand the spending of a war without going into hyperinflation.. indeed like any government spending..it heats up the economy.

The policy has been to not put off recession so that things don't get worse...corrections are made... but these neocons have other plans.

It was touch and go on the need for the Iraq War. They sure as hell will not take on Iran and 70 Million people. So what will be next... Cuba? Canada (the annexation of Canada alone would put off recession for a decade). Not looking too pretty.

I pray the neocons learnt something about how little they can control war this time around. I hope they lost a good deal of confidence.
