由保罗· Craig ·罗伯特 | 美国参议院投票$165十亿资助布什的侵略战争反对阿富汗和伊拉克通过下春天。 因为美国是打破了，并且深在债务，每一个$165十亿美元将必须被借用。 美国消费者是也打破了和深在债务。 他们零的储蓄率手段每一个$165十亿美元将必须从外国人被借用。

“世界的唯一的超级大国”是，因此打破了它不可能甚而提供经费给它自己的战争。

不负责任的布什政权必须从外国人恳求的每另外的美元在美元的价值施加更多向下压力。 在八被浪费的和布什政权的侈奢的岁月期间，一旦强大美元丧失了大约60%它的价值反对欧洲。

美元丢失了它的价值反对金子和油。

在布什开始了他的侵略战争之前，油是$25每桶。 今天它是$130每桶。 一些这上升在未来市场行情也许起因于逃亡猜想。 然而，主要起因是美元的腐蚀的价值。 油是真正的，并且不同于纸美元在供应被限制。 以美国巨型的贸易和预算赤字，倾诉美元义务登上，因而压低美元的价值。

每次油的美元价格上升，美国贸易逆差上升，要求美国能量利用更加外国的财务。 在2006年布什设法从$106十亿驾驶美国石油进口票据到大约$500十亿18个月后每美元，其中必须由外国人提供经费。

没有外币，美国“超级大国”不可能提供经费给它的进口或它的政府的操作。

当油价上升时，美国人，越来越穷，不可能付他们的冬天热化帐单。 因此，参议院的军事消费票据包含更多热化补贴为可怜的人民美国的增长的军队。

能量的涨价驾驶生产和运输所有物品的价格，但美国收入不上升除了极端富有。

The disappearing value of the US dollar, which pushes up oil prices and raises the trade deficit, then pushes up heating subsidies and raises the budget deficit.

If oil was the reason Bush invaded Iraq, the plan obviously backfired. Oil not merely doubled or tripled in price but quintupled.

America’s political leaders either have no awareness that Bush’s wars are destroying our country’s economic position and permanently lowering the living standards of Americans or they do not care. McCain says he can win the war in Iraq in five more years and in the meantime “challenge” Russia and China. Hillary says she will “obliterate” Iran. Obama can’t make up his mind if he is for war or against it.

The Bush Regime’s inability to pay the bills it is piling up for Americans means that future US governments will cut promised benefits and further impoverish the people. Over a year ago The Nation reported that the Bush Regime is shedding veteran costs by attributing consequences of serious war wounds to “personality disorders” in order to deny soldiers promised benefits.

Previous presidents reduced promised Social Security benefits by taxing the benefits (a tax on a tax) and by rigging the cost of living adjustment to understate inflation. Future presidents will have to seize private pensions in order to make minimal Social Security payments.

Currently the desperate Bush Regime is trying to cut Medicaid health care for the poor and disabled.

The Republican Party is willing to fund war, but sees everything else as an extravagance. The neoconized war party is destroying the economic prospects of American citizens. Is “war abroad and poverty at home” the Republican campaign slogan for the November election?
