Defense Secretary Gates threatens to lay off 200,000 civilians working on military bases by the first of the year if congress fails to fully fund the Iraq war. I can hardly wait to hear the screaming, crying and gnashing of teeth.
Gates threatens civilian jobs in congressional districts around the country; the congress caves to pressure from it constituents, because they need their jobs to pay their portion of the war debt (currently $20,000 per household); The war debt climbs to 3 Trillion and the people owe even more money and taxes must rise..... Finally a plausible explanation for the war in Iraq: We fight the war to create jobs for people who work to support the war that creates jobs that pays for the house that Dick built.
This sounds like the failed attempts at producing a perpetual motion machine. Money like energy always incurs heavy losses when converted from one form to another, especially when there are skimmers in the line like Halliburton/KBR and Blackwater.
