Where the billions go

Now that President Bush has toppled the evil regime, he plans to turn Iraq over to the people. If the majority Shiites win an election, will they impose a mosque-ocracy? Can some economist explain how the president’s proposed tax cut will create jobs for Americans?

First, in order to find the money for us to spend, he will have to cut good jobs in health, education, veterans’ services and more. Then won’t many of the billions thus saved perhaps be spent on shoes from China, shirts from Pakistan, dresses from El Salvador, tissue paper from Finland, or on stocks issued by companies in the Bahamas?
