Petraeus Outlines Troop Withdrawals as many as 30,000 troops by next summer, drawing praise from the White House but a chilly reception from anti-war Democrats. Gen. David Petraeus said a 2,000-member Marine unit would return home this month without replacement in the first sizable cut since a 2003 U.S-led invasion toppled Saddam Hussein and unleashed sectarian violence. Further ``force reductions will continue,'' he told a nationally televised congressional hearing that was frequently interrupted by anti-war protesters. This is excelent news and peace is now at hand. peace as understood by Mesopotamia types, of course.

Recession+inflation. Imports increase in price as basket fo currencies appreciate vis a vis USD. Because oil is priced in USD, its price will raise. Consumption goes down. FED decreases interest rates, fuels inflation. That's not a good mixture.

TJ, I think you have been fixated on the "fiat money fraud" too long. The current amount of US debt is here: treasurydirect.gov That is all the US debt, including "off-balance" (aka non-public) debt used to fund Social Security. The total US debt for the years 1997 to 2006 can be found here: treasurydirect.gov The total US debt for the years 1846-2006 is here -- this is the easiest site to examine quickly the Clinton and Bush debt, since it only includes a single annual debt number at the end of the fiscal year: treasurydirect.gov I know it's a shock to you to find out the US is so lightly taxed, with all its military waste, but it's the truth.
