The budget compromise last fall committed the country to billions of dollars in defense cuts. Regrettably, with the first bomb on Baghdad, that deal was blown. Even more regrettably, military spending has almost no effect on long-term economic growth, according to studies by economist David Aschauer of Bates College in Maine. To stimulate the economy, the government should be pouring its money into dams, bridges, ports and roads. Every dollar spent on infrastructure, Aschauer says, adds $4 to national output within four or five years because it helps business operate more efficiently....

United conceded an 89th-minute equaliser away to Everton on Sunday, Leighton Baines securing a 1-1 draw from the penalty spot in response to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s first-half opener. Mourinho’s men have only won twice in 11 Premier League games, but the manager feels they are not getting enough credit for their performances. The former Chelsea boss feels he is told style is most important when United are getting results, but that good performances are ignored when they are not winning games....

The 28-year-old Croatia international has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford and Inter technical director Walter Sabatini confirmed last week that United were continuing to show strong interest. Reports on Monday suggested that the Premier League club were close to finalising an agreement over a transfer, with Inter ready to accept a bid in the region of £40million. However, speaking after his side’s 2-1 friendly win over Real Salt Lake, Mourinho claimed he was in the dark over the deal....

Hughton’s Albion side were defeated 2-0 by the Red Devils in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday and, while critics chose to target United for a lacklustre display, the Portuguese gave credit to the qualities of their visitors.

Ramires The midfield battle will be an area that Chelsea can’t afford to concede too much space. Ramires’ role will be one to watch, with the Brazilian midfielder capable of lung-bursting runs forward, as well as plugging gaps defensively. Ramires will have to fulfill the duties of a box-to-box midfielder if Chelsea go for a three man midfield, as well as taking care of his defensive responsibilities. Ramires has won 54 tackles this season and will have to be in combative form if Chelsea are to stop the forward forays of Yaya Toure....

Scholes, who played 718 times for United between 1993 and 2013, was critical of Pogba after the club’s 0-0 draw with Southampton, claiming he is not the same player he was at Juventus. The 43-year-old feels Pogba has not shown his best form regularly enough since returning to United, though he went on to play a starring role in Monday’s 2-0 win over Everton. Pogba set up both goals as Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard secured victory and Mourinho came out in defence of his midfielder, while also biting back at Scholes....

The Dancing With the Stars celebrity—who had the top scores last week—nearly didn’t take the floor with her rendition of “I Hope You Dance,” a foxtrot set to the Lee Ann Womack song. It’s all because of her hurt ankle, which, at least on Sunday, Bristowe revealed was still painful. Apparently, Bristowe had an MRI this week—as of Monday morning, though, she’s still waiting for the results. Fans know she’s gearing up to dance for the show’s “Disney Night” on Monday, which is just hours away....
