There is more going on here than just Bush's tax cuts...

I think the next couple of years will be interesting. People want the war to wrap up, and the defense industry $$$ will slow down. THAT is when the real test will be if Bush's "tax cuts" are doing something...
Sure, I do believe you are right that War does help the economy...but I also believe that the unemployment numbers have been dropping because of the tax cuts, not the War.

Tax cuts (A) in my opinion does two things;
1) Improves the economy (B)
2) Reduces unemployment (C)

People have more money to spend thanks to tax cuts. The increase in sales boosts the economy. But that's not it...to meet the demands of the consumers (now that they have more money) businesses need to hire more people (reducing unemployment)

If A, then B and C.
Did we recieve tax cuts?? Yes
Is the economy doing well?? Yes
Has unemployment fallen?? Yes

Does that make sense?? That's the way I see it...
