Stalins Organ Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I was wondering if anyone knows how much the "withdrawl" from Iraq is going to change the US military budget over the next few years, and presumably total Govt spending too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Well , sell shares in Honeywell, Haliburton .... actually all the defence contractors also. Medical healthcare for veterans should be an earner. However all those extra unemployed could be a problem .... however if the Govt. plays it smart they buy less toys and use the manpower on civil projects. The inter-state system and bridges in general are in need of replacement so perhaps there can be a new generation of navvies - who knows they can graduate from shovels to driving tracked vehicles etc. Psychologically I think it would be smart to deploy the returness on positive work to make them feel good. Generous leave to see family but keep the cohesion for a few years. Anyway this is a 2008 article on costs - and more detail on how costs are calculated: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article3419840.ece 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
