3. The cost of Bush's War is the reason the economy is tanking.

The two are as inseparable as Bush and Rice.

4. The war has let the * family empty our treasury.
It must be stopped. Congress has allowed laws to be made against the middle class that have lead to the financial disaster there. Let's take another look at the bankruptcy bill. Let's look at the export of US jobs overseas. This will not be a quick fix. peace, Kim

8. The War HAS CAUSED our Economic Woes
HUNDREDS of BILLIONS being spent on the War.
That money isn't going to the masses.
The U.S. loss of international respect has contributed significantly to the drop in the dollar.
The Debt being wracked up by the War is contributing significantly to the drop in the dollar.
The war has destabilized the supply of oil in the middle east, causing the price of oil to go up 3-fold since the war.
The war has consumed tremendous amount of material goods, causing an increase in demand and thus, cost.
The increase costs of energy and material goods has put extreme pressure on the middle-class, driving Americans to cut costs and spend less, increasing our trade deficit with low-cost goods from China.
Increased consumption of low-cost goods has hurt manufacturing and industry further.
With the government's focus on the War, they can't solve other economic impacting issues like Health Care and Education.

Almost every country who has ever committed to multi-year wars and military campaign suffers economically.
