Old Man fron Scene 24 asked:


I often hear economists saying some financial trend or another is being caused by the housing crunch or a hurricane or China building for the Olympics. But the massive amounts of money being directed to Iraq must be coming from somewhere and taking money from something else. Wouldn’t that much money leaving the US be a bigger hit on the economy than a storm in Texas?
What is being affected economically by the Iraq war?
