9/11 and WOT lose 1 million jobs Let's make it 2 million...no, better yet let's say it was 5 million jobs. Would you like it to be higher....maybe 10 million? To argue with congressional a-holes of both parties over pork? Trivial stuff. Even though the GOP increased the number of pork projects by 500%, it's still a trivial amount of money within the overall Federal Budget. In the FY-2004 budget they just magically reduced the appropriations bills by a fraction of a % cross the board to "cover" the additional pork. Not me--cut taxes and ignore deficits for a time along with AG and real low interest rates bailed us out. Well done. And what happens to the interest on the debt when interest rates go up to historical averages? Bush's plan: It's someone else's problem. BTW....where does that $2 Trillion come from to cover the transitional costs for Social Security? jttmab
