*War is good for the economy*

Bush's team pointed out that the nation's economy was in a recession before he took office.

Today,  the stock market is up 75% over a year ago;   the GDP is growing at 7%.  During the Clinton administration,   the economy was growing at 4% annually,  and that was during the greatest economic expansion the US ever saw.

So the economy is booming again after a brief bust and it is a result of war time spending.   It's a result of the government pumping 100+ billion into the economy after borrowing it from anemic financial institutions,  who would have been forever greatful except for the fact that the titans of the financial industry already have a say as to when we go to war [and that is generally when they need the government to borrow massive amounts of funds from them].   

Oh, but they'll swear it's the tax cut having a stimulating effect on consumer spending.  But logic says otherwise.   And only the shallow thinking will swallow the mendacity.  Unfortunately,  that's a heck of a lot of people.
