What a stupid article...

War does NOT help boost a modern economy, as it did in WWII...

Well... not entirely true... but it's a double-edged sword.

During WWII, increased need for production of planes, munitions etc etc certainly increased the number of jobs... but that also came at the cost increased government debt...

..and price fixing as well as certain amounts of central planning. It did, however, get the economy moving back to full employment and helped set up the post-war economic boom.

That's true - is essence, the War set up the mechanisms for the boom that occurred once it was finished.

According to many halfwits on the left, we've been months or at best a year or two away from attacking Iran for the last 6 or 7 years.  Now halfwits on the right are joining in the chorus?  Should we be concerned about halfwit bipartisanship?

Anyone who thought a war with Iran was on the table was either fantasist on the left or a fetishist on the right... they know it would be a geo-political nightmare... Iraq x 100.
