Interesting articles,

in the paper today. Is the war in Iraq costing 2 trillion or 3 trillion dollars? Sources differ, BUT, still, totally incomprehensible numbers. (Just to put it into perspective, after 2 years of hurricanes, wiping out New Orleans, and a large part of Florida, and everything in between, the damages approached $500 billion.) AND, even at this level, they aren't taking into account the price of oil, which will KILL our economy, at this rate, of over $100/barrel, PLUS, the damage to world opinion, the long term effects of taking care of 'veterans', the cost of re-equipping our military, etc. THANKS, GEORGE. You attacked the 'oil basket' of the world, and SURPRISE, the price of oil went from 28 to over 100 $$$ per barrel. Who woulda guessed, your oil friends would profit from your policies??? PLUS, your new rules in the mortgage/lending business, which allowed people to buy houses with NOTHING down, so your buddies in the banking business could reap HUGE profits. And the WORST thing is... This is only the beginning. As our economy collapses, think back to our world, BEFORE Bush. He is here, because of his right-wing supporters, and we have them to thank, as we sink to a 2nd class world power. Without a doubt, the WORST thing to ever happen to Amerika.
