It's not the gold alarmists who bother me so much, but there's an outfit trying to sell seeds at grossly inflated prices as a kind of survival kit for the impending economic doomsday. "A fool and his money are soon parted."

Carlos Lam -- agree with most of your plan except for halving he military. They are there for a good reason, the expense is necessary. Allowing failures to fail is painful, but distributing the pain across the entire American economy (if not the globe) is worse.

The cost of the war in Iraq and the cost of the "stimulus package" are comparable. But the stimulus package will be spent in less time. The war in Iraq arguably enhanced national security. The stimulus package was predominately a payoff to various Democratic constituencies. I doubt that either the war or excessive Federal gov't spending will result in economic growth, but at least the war accomplished something: it's hard to argue that the world would be safer if Saddam were still above ground and breathing.
Besides which, Bush is gone. It's all on Obama now.
