| 30. What would unemployment be without 9/11 and Iraq? |
|
Edited on Fri Sep-05-03 10:43 AM by Snellius
Bu**sh** keeps insisting that the recession is largely due to the war on terrorism, but without the huge increase in military spending and new war-related jobs, these unemployment figures would be disasterous. These trends, as Bush himself admits, were well in process BEFORE 9/11. In the past, many historians contend that what brought America out of the Great Depression was really World War II. Bush's only job's creation program was Iraq.
