Thank You.

Thank you for that stereotype. Just so we all know you are on the anti-America bandwagon. Thanks again.

word.

i think his opinion is quite clear now.

I know its not a 100K, of course. But its salaries, its money, it gets things moving. 260 billion IS HUGE! and that doesn't account all the secret services budgets, etc. I never said that solely soldiers salaries will get things moving. But it helps alot, when people spend,the economy gets better. Its like when you let a little snowball go down the hill, it gets slowly bigger and bigger...

I'll give you an example. In my province, Quebec, the government decided to spend tax payers money to build bridges, roads, etc etc right after the slowdown made by sept 11. It was planned to get things going again. The amount was close to 1.5 billion $ which amount roughly to about 1% of Quebec's economy. Of course construction workers don't make 100K, they do alot less actually, maybe 35-40K. Now the Quebec province is doing alot better than any other province in Canada and better than the US. So imagine a huge increase in military spending by the order of let say 100 billion $ made by the US, this about 1.5~2% of US economy. Can you imagine the benefits? Its really simple economics man...

never heard of that "you gotta spend money to make money"?
