Is the US budget deficit the cause for the Iraq war?
2003-01-27
Last night I saw a news columnist making the remark that the US budget deficit is going to hit a height of $463 Billion at the end of the year. Only a successful war could avert a financial disaster and elevate the economy.

I have no links, could anybody supply me some data about the deficit to compare whether this assertion is serious?

#1  Only a successful war could elevate the economy? What about freezing or reducing spending from last year's numbers?
