· Friday, March 21, 2003 · No comments

BULL WAR: The economy seems to be in full scale recovery as a result of our war in Iraq. WaPo: Stocks Gain; Dow Has Best Week Since 1982. I’m not an economist and have no econometric models to back this up, but I will nonetheless make a bold assertion: This war will pay for itself. A surging economy will generate enough tax revenue to offset the added costs of the war.
