What a stupid article...

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

Particularly since we're already funding the military enough to fight a war in Iran.

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.
