We had the illusion of a balanced budget because of the tech stock bubble.
Once the illusion of the bubble burst, there went the balanced budget, or
rather, the illusion of a balanced budget.

The dead people have bought you a propping up of the petro-dollar economy for
a few more years. So many people, and espcially Obamistas, think it's just a
matter of shuffling the troops on transport planes and we are out of there.
It's just war or no war and it affects nothing else. But when you understand
the economic basis of the war (and ALL wars are essentially economic in
nature), the minute we abruptly pull out, our economy falls.

That would be fine with me, all for it in fact. But at that moment we will
no longer be able to command foreign backed debt. Most pensions and
government
subsidies will be defunct. </HTML>
