[QUOTE="swimfreak26, post: 564373, member: 544365"] Take some economics courses before you make a simplistic analysis of a complex situation. Enough said with that point, it is not simple economics that this is true, and when you want to discuss economic princlples and theories, let me know. Secondly, this is just an extremely scewed statement in general. The point still stands that although war and recession create deficit, they cannot come close to explaining a deficit the size of the current one. World War II, The Korean War, and the Vietnam war, in addition to the cold war (although not really a war, it was much more clear than this poorly run "war" that we're in now) all showed us this. Since the great depression in the late 20's and early 30's Bush is the first president to have a loss in net jobs. Bush has also cut taxes 4 times now since he's been in office. Tax cuts, paired with less people paying taxes creates the deficit that we're in today, not war by any stretch of the imagination. The Bush administration's tax cuts are not an economic plan, they are a smoke screen to make the average dumb american citizen like a man who has no concept of the repercautions of his actions.
