I'm no economist, but wars often boost the economy, especially the aftermath, eg. the Roaring 20s, the post WWII boom, etc..
Why do you blame just one man --when the US Congress holds the real
purse strings? The fact is domestic spending is crazy, expecially on pork barell projects and social services.
We pay for health care for illegal aliens when average Americans go without. Guess where all that money comes from.. high taxes, high taxes which destroy incentive and force investment offshore.
To me it looks like we are losing our competitiveness with our welfare economy, all the welfare fraud, our trade deficit with China, and all the high taxes.
Long term, a stable Iraq may push down the cost of oil.
