You fucking moron, wars produce nothing- all they do is consume resources. The only thing worse than going to war is prolonging victory unnecessarily

I'm rubbing my eyes...

It's far more reasonable to say that FDR prolonged the Depression than that he ended it.

WWII ended the Great Depression, though Roosevelt's policies at least ameliorated the effects. Many of the public works projects he instigated still stand today. TVA ring a bell?

You fucking moron, wars produce nothing- all they do is consume resources.

Wars produce jobs, good paying manufacturing jobs, using resources that would have otherwise been left untapped.

So, by your convoluted logic, you're somehow trying to say that the U.S. should have stayed out of WWII?

America didn't start it, but the "greatest generation", that of my parents, damn sure ended it.

"The economy was shit, there was a war, then the economy was great.
Therefore, war = economic prosperity".

Is that right, you dolt? What was it about Roosevelt's wartime austerity measures that boosted the economy?

Here's your answer:

Because the arms industry can charge whatever the fuck they want, knowing morons like you will keep forking over your hard earned tax dollars to the goddamned government to pay for it.

It a ZERO SUM GAIN.
You buy a bomb, you blow up a building and guess what your return on that investment is? Nothing. That's right, nothing.
And all those man-hours wasted building weapons and ammunition could have been spent on improving your lives and your country, but you gladly reject such notions.

If you're going to babble like an hysterically ignorant buffoon, there's really not much point in attempting to have a conversation.

I'd rather blow up somebody else's building, before having my own blown up. There's always the notion that we'd prefer a pre-emptive first strike.

That's how they get you to part with your money. They scare the shit out of you and claim that if you don't bankroll their
military-industrial Ponzi scheme, you might end getting hurt.

That's how chain letters usually run, right? Well, your country keeps falling for the same chain letter.

AT you, wage, not with you.

:lol: AT you, wage, not with you.

Ease up -- the mighty Iraqi Navy almost made it to the Florida Coast. Once the Iraqi Air Force took to our skies, we would have been fucked.


Matter of fact, I think I should give up MORE of my income to make sure countries with no navy and no air force don't attack our shores and skies.

[War Wagon]

Dins, you're going to give up the same amount of income unto Ceasar, regardless of the threat level of the Iraqi or Iranian Navy.

And you don't see a problem with that?

Wags thinks he's getting over when he gets a larger than expected refund

[War Wagon]

Refund?

Any federal refund that we might be entitled to goes straight to the state's of Missouri and Kansas.

Do NOT pass Go, Do NOT collect $200.

We live in Missouri but wifey works in Kansas, so we get bent over every year by state taxes. Double taxation, and that's no joke.
