Dubya Budget: onward christian soldiers ?
...marching toward StarWars (^_^)
well, they call it a "bubble", Berney ~ but it feels more like a flat tire.
the Fed keeps pumping it up, and we roll on down the highway awhile until WHAM! another pre/after-hours earnings warning or forward guidance adjustment shard of broken glass in the road, and psssssssttttt...
...another flat tire to fix.
well now, if ya buy this Dubya Tax-Cut Logic, whereby a family of four making $60K~$80k per year will save enough dinero to pay their monthly cable TeeVee bill {grin} ...
perhaps it's Reaganomics Redux : you know, the tax-cut is only part of Dubya's fiscal strategy ~ a military build-up is the other. Certainly we would all agree that half-inch armor is not enough to stop rubber-raft attacks against our capital ships, and 6 inches of steel is X tons of surplus production that we can't sell as SUV's.
How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love Anti-Missile Defenses
hey, they're chock-full of little microchip hardware, killer-app software and require all kindsa telecommunications command & control bandwidth and optical network hubs!
we can cram all this stuff we've stuffed into the channel into missiles and, what we don't drop on Saddam we can bury in missile silos or, blast up into outer space!
...if CHINA would co-operate, give us an ENEMY (preferably by sneaky attack) we could quickly eliminate the biggest drain on our current account balance-of-trade deficit spending, and complete the NAFTA conversion of Mexico to become el Norte's premiere industrial colony. {sigh}
oh, WTH... slap another patch on this leaky old Tech tyre, pump it up again with FedFunds and BUY DAT DIP, DUDES !!!
