WAR brings economies back? Bush's Iraq adventure did us in for up to 3 TRILLION scooterpies, with absolutely no return to anybody other than the military interests. It did squat for those saddled with the debt. We can't manufacture war materials profitably in this country so we farmed most of it out. I didn't say somebody didn't turn a tidy profit on the war. Ninety five percent of us got to take the bull by the tail and face the situation.
So, yes, you're correct: it really is what you spend it on.

Me? I've been to cooking school and my whole life has been improv. I think I'll avoid snuffing neighbors, even obnoxious ones, and see if society can hang together for just a little longer. I've got some sick dogs to take care of and I need a qualified vet.
You? Gang at yer ain gait...
