Iraq: Did You Know

[BanginJimmy]

I wasnt a proponant of the war, but its beyond that point now. Leaving before that country is self sustainable will be worse for us in the long run.

Our economy is down a bit, but not all that bad. The only sector really being hurt is the housing market. There is a trickle down effect into the financials, but its not nearly as bad as some would like you to think.

So.. we'll be right where we were before we attacked. Damn then what good was the invasion? Let them figure it out, they're smart people. I mean, they are intelligent enough to produce nuclear weapons but cannot form a functional government?

Value of the dollar is tanking, we borrow from China to fund a war in Iraq.. 2 or 3 airlines grounded their fleet last week, gas is at an all time high even when you factor inflation.. and three months of job losses.

The first step to any recovery is recognition that there is a problem. A drug addict doesn't seek help if they do not acknowledge that they have a problem in the first place. No recession was overcome without accepting that the economy is not in a good position so this idea that "everything is fine and dandy" only stagnates the process of recovery. Accept it, Economy is bad.. there is plenty of potential if people let things take its course but continuing the habits that put us here prolongs the inevitable.
