.. of stupid people in large groups. For it is they who keep our Dear Leader in the White House instead of the big house. Is this retribution? For failing to raise a politically aware society?
At the risk of Bushmongering, I bet there's still some silver lining in all this,
1. The huge national debt is big money spent on something, and those people selling that something cannot be happier. When companies relocate offshore, they save a lot in tax free havens full of cheap labor. Selling the same stuff at first world prices have never been more profitable. They've been looting from Social Security for years when overspending. Now they don't have to do it in the dark anymore.
2. Two billion a day is spent there, those non-Iraqis who are getting that sum are smiling from ear to ear.
3. To be honest, this is good in the long run. Petrodollars, IMF and the World Bank have been propping up the white elephant for far too long now at the expense of all the countries in the world who cannot legally print American dollars. In fact, Bush attacked Saddam to stop him from trading oil in Euros, fearing a domino effect. His belligerence made him blind, for in that act of desperation, the petrodollar Achilles Heel is revealed in all its faded splendor.
4. So what if mass consumption is the engine of growth? At least his rich buddies who already have more mansions, cars and companies than they can ever resell can get tax relief nickels to build more factories in Shanghai to escape all the taxes and regulations here.
5. Rummy's being nice, the blowhards on holy hate radio can't wait to carpet bomb the whole place, in the same way Team America blew up the Louvre in the name of freedom!!
