to the pursuit of a pointless war? Is it acceptable to point to the economy as one of Bush's achievements when it is possibly the result of a bogus war?

The numbers look good from a distance but up close they are terrible .
ITS like bill gates moving into your house and your income went from 50,000 to 50 billion but bill does not share and is only renting a room for the month Your house hold net worth increased but did it realy .Bush says yes, I say no .
Yopu can do the same by spending billions and billions of dollars on defense and products associated with war that actually do not create any products for people or provide any growth realy to our economy .
BUsh says it does whenwe are billions in the whole and the money will need to be repaid .
If i loan you 100,000 dollars and ask you to pay it back ARe you 100,000 richer or just in debt more .
If bush would create a job that is not associated with war maybe then I could say he did some thing .
BUt packing meals for soldiers is temporary work .Like making bombs and weapons and using our resources for things that do not benefit the people of this nation .If i cut down a tree and build a chair and table that is something of value .If i how ever make rifle stocks out of it then what benefit is it to mankind .
Making coffins is a business and profits are up .making weapons is up but now people are going to see the results of people who speculated in the real estate market and treated it like multi level marketing with a twist .
They got property values to increase 300% in ssome areas and along with it taxes .
So we have trickle down economics working or do we have poor people who have tax increases greater then any small refund or tax break they may have had .
Bush is bad for business except if you are a multi national corporation .

No. The economy is being pumped up by the one trillion dollar Chinese investment in the American economy. The Chinese Government has purchased US Treasuries, dollars etc. and have heavily invested in the US Housing Market (that caused the recent years of hot housing/construction markets). Unfortunately, it also co-opts the American government from standing up to Chinese Human Rights policies etc. All's the Chinese have to do is move their holdings to say some other place, and the the perverbial rug is pulled out from the US economy.

For decades we have sent billions into foreign economy - no difference now. The war is not & never has been bogus. WWI just about broke the economy, so war did not help President Wilson's economy. The Vietnam War did not help President Nixon's economy either.
Keep trying though, you will find an excuse for not giving President Bush credit for the good he has done.

actually no but his very liberal spending program is part of it I am sure, The new drug bill for the elderly is costing more than the war I understand. He has spent and spent and spent, more social programs than the democrats ever did.
But actually the receipts from taxes have gone up greatly and unemployment way down.
What I am in fear of is those that want us like Europe, where gas is 6 dollars a gallon and unemployment is always in the double digits at least 10 percent over ours right now.

... well the facts simply are we're spending billions domestically on the war effort... all those bullets, tanks, repair parts, ect. don't make themselves... and those billions make jobs, and then they pay taxes and are re-spent in the economy...
I think it helps much more than anyone mentions... I mean, how could it not?
