Description: In this March 5, 2003 broadcast, two weeks before the invasion of Iraq, Yale economist William Nordhaus was ridiculed for predicting a war with Iraq might cost as much as $750 Billion in war costs, $2 Trillion in economic costs, create $75 a barrel oil and $3 a gallon gas. And in all this, he still didn't count military rehab or increased domestic security costs, so even HIS estimate was low!

Garbage101 ::: Favorites B1 visa's are Business visitor Visa's (visiting visas for investors) your referring to H1 visa's(the visa that allows the immigrant to work in the US)! This is pricisely why we need immigrants from all over the world because dipshits like you are not qualified to work and fail do not understand simple things. 07-09-26 13:46:19 __________________________________________________

VicDeHaven ::: Favorites Actually, if the Industrial Military complex could be stopped cold in it's tracks, we could probably go back to having single income families, free health care, no income tax, and still payoff our huge national debt. How could we afford all that you ask? Well we already pay a boatload of taxes through other venues that we aren't normally privy to. 07-09-09 16:11:26 __________________________________________________
