You can't just leave Iraq in a year, and you can't fix the economy in the year. He is emulating FDR's approach to the great depression, which works. --- End quote --- Give or take, the Iraqi government wants us out by 2011. We don't really have a say in it short of another terrorist attack. We are nothing more than mercenaries at this point, but we aren't really being paid by them. |

Politics is the setting of policies, the solution of conflict through dialogue, political beliefs, and the campaigning for aforementioned policies and beliefs. Ever heard of Franklin Delano Roosevelt? Keynesian economics work, so he's doing exactly the right thing at the moment. You'd be wrong, actually. He's scaled back spending on Iraq, and America is going to be out of Iraq by next August. So even if he is spending more right now, which he isn't, in the long term it will be far less money than what the Bush administration spent. What's particularly witty about his administration? --- End quote --- The politics and stat's thing was a joke. I thought it was a pretty well known one, but I suppose it isn't... I never said he wasn't doing the right things at the moment, I just stated he's screwing over generations to come with debt. I doubt America will be out of Iraq by next August. But then again, I stopped following the war 3 years ago. But I had done a research paper that said that it would take more than 4 years and a ton of money (Which we don't really have at the moment) to get us out. I tongue-in-cheek also means ironic. He's saying one thing and doing another. I don't really want to spend the time looking for proof to back me up, and frankly, I'm recalling most of this stuff from memory, so I could very well be wrong. But I was just throwing my opinion out there, like everyone else on this thread. |
