That's a lot more to life than economics, I guess.
There's no doubt that increased spending and tax breaks introduced in the aftermath of the Sep. 11 attacks and the resulting war could be detrimental to the budget surplus/deficit situation, and be somewhat harmful to the economy. So what?
Keep in mind that we're at war. This aren't normal times, or a normal environment to make strictly economic decisions. Issues of national morale, the war effort, and homeland security related spending come into play.
If we lose this war, we'll have a lot worse things to worry about than the occasional recession...
