Bush The WAR has nothing to do with the economy

Bush Dismisses Iraq Recession: The War Has ‘Nothing To Do With The Economy’
This morning on NBC’s Today Show, President Bush denied that the there’s any link between the faltering U.S. economy and $10 billion a month being spent on the Iraq war. In fact, according to Bush, the war is actually helping the economy:

CURRY: You don’t agree with that? It has nothing do with the economy, the war — spending on the war?

BUSH: I don’t think so. I think actually the spending in the war might help with jobs…because we’re buying equipment, and people are working. I think this economy is down because we built too many houses and the economy’s adjusting.

I like how he said, "I don't

I like how he said, "I don't think so" --- Bush doesn't think!

He has to say this

If he admits the war is the problem, McCain has no chance. McCain's only platform is MORE WAR. If the war is causing the problem---McCain can't solve it!

He wouldn't know military-Keynesianism if it was disguised as his buddy Osama.

Wait, it is!

Bush on war economics

Bush has a point.- Thank the stars for GPS,-a military turned civilian navigation system. Why don't you use that as an example of how war helps the economy? How the worlds number one gps mapping company (USA) has just been bought by a european phone company.
That $8 billion has gone back into the american economy. Most if not all the civilian sat nav products are chinese or whatever. The bandage manufactureres are doin well an all so we should expect the prices to tumble on mass produced gasoline products too.

Good luck out there &Thank you. It's appreciated'.-fip -U.K

What a putz.

I doubt W believes it...but I'm sure he thinks most ameriKans will.

QUICK

Somebody ask that man if he wants to buy a bridge!!!! its made of gold ,,painted to look like concrete

UGH

(ring) Hello, White House....this is Yale...we are calling to retract the President's degree. Enrollment suffers every time the man goes on TV and we just can't associate the University with someone this stupid anymore!

WAKE UP AMERICA

You republicans voted him in twice. Yet you refuse to walk away from the republican party.

We lost our "say" when the supreme court got involved in 2000

Our votes haven't been properly counted in several election cycles. Once we allowed the supreme court to decide who should be the (P)resident, we lost any semblance of a "representative republic". If only American citizens could show some intestinal fortitude and institute a general strike to get the bureaucrats and selected 'government officials' to take note that we are fed up with the shenanigans.

Why the hell haven't the US

Why the hell haven't the US PEOPLE impeached this guy? Please someone give him a blowjob.

Because the US PEOPLE have

Because the US PEOPLE have no say as our Constitution has been reduced to just a piece of paper that the male porn stars who visit capitol hill wipe their chins with.

Male escourts in the White House?

Are you refering to the "Reporter" using a fake name who was aloud in the White House press room for years? You know the one with links to Gay porn sites, and a male escourt service? "Jeff" i beleive was the name he used.

Back in the day when I used to watch briefings from the President and his lackeys I happened to see the ultra soft-ball question pitched by Mr. Gannon to (P)resident Bush and almost lost my breakfast at the obvious toadying between the two. I _almost_ miss Bill Clinton, you know?

....

Sorry to be politically incorrect, but before now I thought the comments about Bush being borderline retarded were just jokes. Guess I was wrong...

Then Why

Do we have a national debt of over 9 trillion and we are borrowing over 3 billion a day from China and Japan? Why was M3 done away with? Please answer this.

That statement is as messed up as a cat riding a porcupine!

I have thought up until this point that I have seen stupid. I don't mean your typical, I can't find my head because it is up the Fed's butt stupid but this borders on GW needing some sort of Med's.

He is with out a doubt insane and needs to be institutionalize for the rest of his life. His wife has the brains of what God gave to a billy goat. I often wonder how this women who is nothing more than trailer trash sold pot out of her apartment and ended up in the white house.

America, Don't blame me, I voted for Dr. Paul. If this Country goes into a depression it deserves it. America has some of the stupidest people in the World or these Elections are being stolen by these Die-Bold machines.

Either way we are screwed. You keep thinking that someone is going to wake you up and you are going to find out that this is nothing more than a bad dream. Nope, it is one of those real life nightmares.

The War Has Nothing To Do With The Economy...

... much like bombs have nothing to do with death.

i get it.

it makes sense to me.

fucking psychopath...

TAR AND FEATHER HIM!

TAR AND FEATHER HIM!

duh

The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny. James Madison

The war is their way of funneling taxpayer money

right into their own bank accounts. War for profit, period. Disgusting.

HAVEN'T YOU HEARD? BUSH HAS SAID REPEATEDLY THAT

OUR ECONOMY IS STRONG! Sure, for the Military Industrial Complex it sure is! Bush thinks all of our troubles will just dissappear if we all just go out and shop for Chinese products to KILL US ALL! And then we won't have to worry about the economy anymore, great plan!

I don't know if bashing him for his ignorance is appropriate though, he seems to be MENTALLY RETARDED and I don't like it when anyone makes fun of the handicapped; but HONESTLY, HOW IN THE HELL DID THIS MAN EVER ATTEND YALE? What did he do, BUY his term paper and the answers to all the tests?

Bush has the mental capacity of a SHOE! No, sorry, that would be an insult to shoes, at least they provide comfort and protection against the elements! How about a ROCK? No, rocks can be used to make houses to provide comfort and warmth and protect us from the elements also. WOW, I can't think of anything to compare him to that wouldn't be insult to the object! Are the same people who give him a 30% approval rating the same ones who are voting for McCane, I guess so! But personally, I think those little gremlins all live in the Diebold Black Boxes and those other voting machines that hide our ballots! The Conservative Christians should be ASHAMED to have given us this FREAK for a president, not once but TWICE! He is SUCH A PHONY Christian! He claims that God Himself talks to Georgie and Georgie is helping God bring about Armegeddon!

Not that anyone here would care, but I'm a Born Again Christian and there are things that I don't agree with so I just keep my mouth shut at church, I REFUSE to be a Sheeple being herded to slaughter! WHY can't these people THINK for themselves? They don't need Dobson and Family Values people telling them who to vote for! It makes me so angry, I just want to SHAKE THEM sometimes! It's perfectly fine to practice whatever religion you want, or not, but why should we just stand by and watch our country go down in flames because of BAD DECISIONS and not simply DEMANDING that our President and elected officials following our U.S. Consitution?

laughable but sad

I couldn't believe my eyes, ears or other god giving senses, the houses are responsible but not the war.

well... one more piece of

well... one more piece of evidence proving George W. Bush is an idiot.

Not only is the war spending adding to the deficit/debt, but it's aiding to devalue the dollar as Bush keeps borrowing and asking for more and more money, which is then printed out of thin air, raising interest rates, lowering value.... IT'S MADNESS!

But he is right that the housing market also is a contributing factor... but that I think was also effected by spending and bad monetary/fiscal policy.

Someone should let Bush know

that the world doesn't need any more proof of his inadequacy (to put it mildly, or kindly).

His 'insights' could be improved upon easily by even a first grader.

He forgot to tell that the profits of the war regarding machinery and other equipment goes to the few in charge.

OK, I don't blame anyone....

that's a moderator for this site to come in and delete what I am about to say, because it might reflect badly on new people coming to the site.

Bush is an effing idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, I'm done now

These comments are the

reason why I think there will not be an election in November. Bush is too good of a puppet. As bad as the other candidates are, I think there is a chance (alllbeit really small) that they wake up one day and go OMG what am I doing. It is clear that will never happen with Bush.

This is a compelling article just released

on the future of the US and world economic scene in 2008.

What????

I've got a box of Cheerios with a higher I.Q. than this moron.
What the hell is wrong with him?

You mean help his friends

Idiot

Same lunatic line of thinking

as those who said that Hurricane Katrina would help the economy of the south due to all the rebuilding that would need to be done.

These people have absolutely ZERO concept of capital formation and economic growth.

The Iraq War is 100% capital destruction. Anyone who thinks this helps the economy has their head up their rear end.

Goodness

gracious me!, what is he saying?!, I don't know if I should laugh or what?.

jeb bush

and just think in 4 years we could have jeb or marvin in office

No wonder

He and McCain get along... they both lack a firm grasp of the obvious.

George W. Bush

Has long since proven he is a complete idiot.

I speak for the trees-

Yes, the war is well funded, and always will be. We just cut down a few trees, turn them into wood pulp, cut the pulp into rectangular pieces of paper, print ink on them saying: "Federal Reserve Note", and look kids, more money! Stay tuned: more Barney and Friends right after this message from George W. Bush.

Odd note..

They are saving the trees in this instance. US dollars are actually printed on woven linen. (Flax). That being said, you are otherwise spot on.. ;)

Actually you're both

Actually you're both wrong... They're just ones and zeros shooting like little lightning bolts out of Bernanke's fingertips...;-)
