Wars are good for the economy?

If people didn't have their money stolen by the government they would have spent or saved it. Both would benefit the US economy. All this does is line the pockets of the politically connected.

Taxes are theft and an unnecessary evil. Governments can print money from nothing. To avoid inflation all they need is some discipline to keep the growth of the money supply near the growth of the economy.

America's proxy war against Russia is being proactive by America, to prevent a Brics coalition that would/will be too powerful for America to deal with.

That's money well spent! There's no sense in pretending it's not. No matter which of America many wars of aggression is being discussed.

Granted, many of the wars turn out to be a waste of money.

Look up "opportunity costs" and get back to us, fucking ignoramus.

MESQUITE, Texas (AP) — At a bustling construction site outside of Dallas, there are hopes that Congress can finally pass nearly $95 billion in foreign aid including funding for Ukraine — because factory jobs in the United States depend on that money.

Aerospace and defense company General Dynamics’ new factory in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite is expected to initially employ 150 people to produce munitions. Set to open in June, construction is nearing completion, with newly planted trees and shrubs already in place at the complex overlooking one of the area’s busiest interstates.

“We want to increase our wages and increase our skill levels and job opportunities,” said Kim Buttram, Mesquite's director of economic development, who added that the factory is expected to have over 300 jobs when it’s at full production.


As President Joe Biden pushes House Republicans to pass needed aid, he wants voters to understand that nearly two-thirds — or nearly $40 billion — of the money for Ukraine would actually go to U.S. factories spread out across the country including plants in Lima, Ohio and Scranton, Pennsylvania as well as Mesquite.

I guess this is Joe Biden's answer to fixing the economy.

I wonder how long they can keep the war going.

If you are driving along in a full car and you stop and kill all the passengers and leave their bodies on the road, the reduced weight will give you better car mileage. IS that the improvement you are crowing about

Yes they are.

Again, abuse of words. Bad for people and good for the economy BUT what is the economy ultimately except people
