Scott, we may be heading for the dreaded fifth leg down in the markets, which will send unemployment over 10% (maybe as high as 20%) destroy all but the wealthiest's wealth and rival the 1930's. It is all on the edge as I write this, the total world economy, and what is Bush worried about, attacking Iraq (to fix daddy's fuque up), that will surely further tube the markets and drag the economy. There is no capital spending right now and the consumer is getting frightened, that spells economic doom and the markets are reflecting it. It can be fixed, and easily, if the economy is the focus, instead we are focused on creating an enemy.
Our only big threat is destroying our economic engine which Bush and Co are doing a fine job. Twenty guys and horse pulled off 9/11 and this Administration is using that to wreck our economy, tear up the constitution, start another war (then another), take away our freedom, destroy democracy, and make America for the first time a ruthless bully nation. So have it how you want FREEDOM or HEIL HITLER
As Pat Buchanan said Deterrent worked for fifty years against Mao and Stalin why can't it work now, especially since we have no real threats. WE HAVE 10,000 TIMES THE FIREPOWER OF SADDAM |
