I yield to your figures: $20B in Afghan, Islamic costs once again, I get out of my field of more reliable knowledge please keep this thread informed on accurate numbers thanks I see someone knocks you with charges of claptrap so be it the predominant fed deficit forces are slowing economy, layoffs, failed companies, lost asset capital gains payroll tax withholdings and lost stock capgains are big wait until interest costs rise with higher bond yields round #2 will see foreigners selling USTBonds which will result in higher interest costs some big replenishment of military forces is necessary the neglect from Clinton era is astonishing I met a retired NC Army consultant in Florida in 2000 he talked of endless lack of needed supplies, cannibalization of helicopters, non-replaced aircraft, poor army base living quarters some of this must be fixed with fresh funding dunno how much funding is required but whatever, the costs contribute to fed deficits I believe the airport security costs also add up both detector equipment and air marshalls everywhere you turn, federal costs rise for anti-terrorist measures take care, keep the right numbers coming much appreciated glad no flames from you coming my way I am a very sensitive guy with a pea-sized ego sure could use a nice fat federal economic research grant / jim
