...Amending the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings targets. Cutting the deficit to $64 billion as the law mandates would require either the sequester or a combination of spending cuts and new taxes equal to 2% of the gross national product. Since the economy is faltering, either choice would deepen a recession. Now that American troops are in harm's way, the slash in Pentagon spending that the sequester would bring is unthinkable. Both sides are thus likely to postpone the deadline by several months...
...just about killed all hope of a post-cold war peace dividend). So far, the valiant resistance to higher oil prices has substantially increased the price of oil, and an actual war with Iraq would undoubtedly increase it a great deal more. The impending recession would deepen and spread around the world. So how is President Bush, who can't even keep the budget deficit much under $150 billion (not to mention the S&L disaster), going to pay for all that?

That discomfort is certain to deepen as more working women find their career paths leading to a relocation. Women are still the "trailing spouse" in 94% of all job transfers that involve couples.

President Hafez Assad has not taken a front role in the current drama, but he did issue an early condemnation of Iraq's action, warning that if other nations pursued a similar course, "the world would resemble a jungle...
...England are flat or falling. In the five-month period ending last May, New York City and northeastern New Jersey lost 15,000 private-industry jobs, their first drop in such employment since 1982. Economists believe a lasting increase in oil prices would hit the area hard. "It would deepen and prolong the downturn here," says Wayne Ayers, chief economist for the Bank of Boston...
