Waste of money, yes. But the side effects.

Wars do in fact boost the economy. I don't know why. I don't think anyone knows why, least of all those who claim to be experts.

The economy is a profoundly complex, nonlinear system, a rats nest of feedback loops both postive and negative. Nobody understands it. Nobody. All macroeconomics is voodoo economics.
