Liz -- remember last year? Remember the tax cuts? Remember how everybody was thinking about how to spend the trillions in government surplus? Well look again. This year the government will run a $400 billion dollar operating deficit. $400 billion. That is without adding on another $80 billion to go to war. On top of that we are running a current account deficit of between $400 billion and $500 billion. The dollar is shaky and there is not another country in the world that doubts that a war with Iraq could set the whole region on fire -- it is close to that point already. Attacking Iraq now would be the best thing that ever happened to all terrorists in the Arab world. We would prove their case -- we would prove that for oil, the "infidels" are willing to do anything and will invade and occupy all the Arab lands. What a perfect backdrop for a half a century of terrorism. Good for the economy? Good lord.
