Part of the problem is that everything changed on 9/11. We will be at war with Islam for the rest of my life--and that means more debt and more deficits into the foreseeable future.

We are at war, and nobody thinks about debt in wartime.

This is one reason I favor quick, nasty, terminal 'solutions' to the problem of militant Islam. Make it fast; get it over with, so we can get back to the job of saving Western Civilization--which may be unsaveable anyway.

" We are at war, and nobody thinks about debt in wartime."

Which is why I am in the deflation camp. The next attack will cripple the US economy for 10 years. That is the only reason we are getting any cooperation from the EU crowd, and no cooperation from the Latin Americans. They want us to crash so they can default on all the loans. The EU can not let that happen. Someone has started a fire in Rome, but no one has the common sense to call the fire department. What will Nero Greenfickle do next, to pour gasoline on the fire, is the real question.

Well, I'm much more cynical about the war. If we didn't have a bad economy first, we wouldn't be liberating anyone. The war is a distraction from the real problems which are the economy. War provides the perfect cover for politicians -- "The economy is a wreak and we have to spend all the money because we're at war, dontcha know."
