MistyRiver,

You have inspired me to contimplate another Q-line question for Jim Puplava.

It might go something like this:

Hola Jim and John! This is Richard calling from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Jim, If the United States pulls out of Iraq in the the next couple of years and no longer spends the estimated 12 billion dollars a month to continue fighting that war, will the cost of the upcoming funding of the boomers' social security and Medicare end up washing out any savings the US might have realized by cutting its military spending?

Que tenga buen dia. Hasta luego.
