This Is Just the Beginning

I find it interesting that pundits such as yourself are loath to spend, yes, finance dept to keep our Country from falling into the economic abyss. America has incurred a war dept of almost a Trillion dollars between the Iraq and Afghanistan war. Whoever you blame for the current crisis I feel it well time for our Government to take care of it's own during this period. Sure, we will need to get our house in order and immediately make the correct decisions to return to creditor nation. I just don't see how spending 800 billion on the war effort is acceptable. But if we spend 800 billion on America our nation will end as we know it. Hogwash.

Yes foreign financing is critical to maneuver through this economic crisis. But has not America helped the world develop through our spending? Free trade has benefited the world economy immensely. It is in their best interest to help aid the US through this time because a healthy economic engine of America makes for a healthy world economy.
