What do you think becomes of all those dollars? If they do not buy consumer goods, they fund investment. Government control has typical distorting effects, but they mainly are to the detriment of consumers in the protectionist country...........

the great bush eating his words in each state of his onion address.... no more OSAMA EVER MENTIONED NO WMD's...at least not unless you count this drivel of "programs:" there is NO truth in what he has been saying and each address proves his desperation to kill civil liberties in his mad power dash to be the great liberator...when in fact he's destabilizing the middle east and killing our soldiers Meanwhile those ACTUALLY WITH nuclear weapons.....ISRAEL and NORTH KOREA are NOT held accountable... all he can come up with is a crappy non producing program from an ailing dictator, Kadafi....and make it into some kind of victory when Kadafi will make out like a bandit and retire in style with OUR TAX MONIES Bill Clinton's line that unless we want to occupy every country in the world, maybe our policy should also concentrate on making friends instead of targets? The president and vice president like to present a calm, experienced demeanor, but their foreign policy is right out of the let's-out-crazy-the-bad-guys style of Mel Gibson's cop in "Lethal Weapon" movies. For proof of how intemperate their policy has been, compare this year's State of the Union with last year's. Last year it was all about Iraq's frightening weapons. This year the only reference was to "dozens of weapons of mass destruction-related program activities and significant amounts of equipment that Iraq concealed from the United Nations." Would Americans have supported a war to go get "program activities?" What is a program activity? Where is the White House speechwriters' ombudsman? NYTIMES
