Mike, raw dollars tell you nothing. This is a decent article that adds relevant context.

I don't think so. It was Britain that put wartime bills onto the national credit card. (FACT: in 2015 Britain finally paid off the last of its World War One debts!) It really seems to have been the massive increase in expenditure of the US government that kick-started your economy which in turn created a "virtuous circle" of greater profits and larger pay packets. Win-win. If so, I can't see why doing the same thing in peace time but spending the money on homes and hospitals wouldn't have the same effect today. This is why economics has always been a complete mystery to me. From: "s3raphita@...

I never understood that. How can you splurge all those dollars on warships, tanks, aircraft, . . . , not to mention the ginormous expense of the atom bomb, . . . and all those bombs, bullets and shells "thrown away", and instead of becoming bankrupt you end up filthy rich. Cleopatra was defeated. The Romans then confiscated the immense treasure of Egypt. So a profitable enterprise for Octavian. I get that. But the USA didn't ransack Japan or Germany. Is there an economist in the house? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Yeah, I know. We got punked with Hitler and Japan also:) Who needs an army?

The world cannot allow the cancer of ISIS to fester in Iraq as it sends death and mayhem to the rest of the world. The coalition of world governments should act in unity to stop this disease of the world. The US should not act unilaterally and fight this battle alone. The world of nations should act together to make a global transformation to eliminate the ISIS doctrine of committing crimes against humanity for the sake of an heretical view of Islam. ---In mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.comfairfieldl...@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, mailto:mdixon.6569@...<mdixon.6569@...> mailto:mdixon.6569@... wrote : Bush: "Tol'ja" From: "jr_esq@...

In strategic terms, the US may eventually have to send American troops to Iraq again to clear out the Islamist foes--although is would violate Kerry's recent talks with the Iraqi Prime Minister. In astrological terms, this recent development is in keeping with the predicted major battle by summer.
