Personal Response I guess it depends on whether you believe there is only one *right* answer or not. I don't. End of Personal Response |

I certainly don't think we can keep increasing the debt forever. The interest payments will become to much. Also, we can't just count on continuing to grow. What if we have another depression or major war? |

Not to mention the fact that some nervous foreign investors might reinvest their money in more stable markets. |

What is unstable about ours compared to say, France, Germany, Japan, or China? Answer: Nothing. |

None is unsustainable? That doesn't make sense. |

WTF are you talking about? I was answering Sisko's "stable" question. Clean your glasses. |

Take it easy, the way you worded your post (before you edited it) was a little unclear. |

At this point, the U.S. economy isn't that much worse off as those you mentioned AB, but if we continue to deficit spend and fight more perpetual wars, the situation may worsen. |

Do you think that saying perpetual war is jumping the gun a little bit at this point? |

While it's not perpetual conventional war, there has been perpetual covert war for as long as we have been involved in both Afghanistan and Iraq. There is no plan for leaving as yet. |

That is not true. And, I am not sure what you mean about a perpetual covert war. |

I mean constant fighting. And what exactly is the plan? |

There isn't constant fighting in Afghanistan. I would not call that war perpetual, nor would I call attacks by terrorists in Iraq as a war either. On the other hand, our recent offensives have had gained a lot of ground over the terrorists. |
