Deja Vu all over again:

"President Lyndon Johnson played down the costs of waging war in Southeast Asia. His economists had recommended a tax increase to help pay for it in 1965, but Johnson waited until 1968 before introducing a 10% income tax surcharge."

Good Article!

With the GDP growing at a rate of 4.2%. Spending 500 billion a year in Iraq would present no problem. But we are only spending 50 to 60 billion.

And what a fantastic training ground for the military developing the warriors of tomorrow to continue the fight against terrorism.
