what are the costs and longevity of the Iraq war and its relationship to the baby-boomers.?

Question

specifically the ones entering retirement and the ones who will be taking social security...

Answer 1

The baby boomers are the ones who should have learned something from the Vietnam War but were stupid enough to elect Bush. So the economy is going to collapse, or its going to hyperinflate, and the baby boomers who have BRILLIANTLY killed off all attempts at national health care will thankfully reach old age with no pensions (stolen by executives), no health care, their savings not worth beans, and they will die. And the world will be a better place without them.

Answer 2

The war will last until at least January 2009. President Bush and V.P. Cheney won't have it any other way. The effect of the costs on baby boomers, (1946-1964) probably not extensive. The costs to future generations such as the troops, will bear the brunt of this eight billion dollar a month fiasco.

Answer 3

Boy, I don't even know if there's an answer for that yet. Projections right now would probably be premature. Sometimes people have a false notion that things like war and social spending don't effect each other. They certainly do. We are spending billions on war right now. Our resources will always be finite so something always has to give. We may not know the effect of our Iraq spending for another generation.

Answer 4

Costs=enormous/astronomical: Longevity=We will be there a very long time, prob. longer than Vietnam for sure: Baby-boomers= are the AGE of this "war/conflict".

Answer 5

The costs are not going to be as significant to them as they will be to the generation that follows. This includes the troops who are there now. When they come home, what will be their future? The administration is among that baby-boomer group and I think it is selfish. Leave the generation of those who who are actually fighting and dying, to scrap for themselves after you screwed them over. Some plan...

Answer 6

like a LOT of money
