Drug manufacturers are anxiously awaiting that task force’s conclusions. Drug makers and sellers are urging FDA to consider a high-tech safeguard, tagging medicine with tiny radiofre quency chips that could let drugstores automatically tell the source of each bottle, McGinnis said. Economy impacted by war on terror WASHINGTON — Two years into the war on terror ism, hopes that the struggle would be only a brief dragon the economy are fat Businesses and consumers are facing a growing lis security-related burdens, federal deficit is ballooning from increased military spend ing and Americans are ji about the future. Many analysts believe the first decade of the 21si' century could well be a mirror- opposite of the 1990s. Back then, the country reaped a huge “peace dend” as gushers of money- freed after America won Cold War were diverted f the military to private enterprise. Those business investments helped spur a record-long years of economic expansion and a surge in productivity levels not seen in decades. But now, Congress is debat-, ing President Bush’s requests for an additional $87 billion for; the Iraq occupation, and soar-; ing spending on defense homeland security has; brought back the era of mas sive budget deficits. e r v i You’ll Feel Better, Fast!
