<<"The forthcoming request highlights how much war spending has soared past initial White House estimates. Early on, then-presidential economic adviser Lawrence Lindsey placed Iraq costs at $100 billion to $200 billion, only to see his comments derided by administration colleagues. By pushing war spending so far beyond $280 billion, the latest proposal would approach nearly half the $613 billion the United States spent for World War I or the $623 billion it expended for the Vietnam War, when the costs of those conflicts are translated into 2005 dollars.">> The weak dollar, the soaring war costs, the ballooning deficits, the weak economy, the pork, more pork and more pork are all related. The perfect economic storm is brewing and the economic payoff will be big. ted
