Yes, but that was only because there was stuff for people to make and now people don't make things.
Machines do.
Unless you wanna stop every machinery and go back to good ol' hand-on (which many won't be willing), war won't help the same way.
My entire post was a jest =P.
If you really think about it deep enough, the war time spending that happened as a result of entry into WWII was more like a gigantic public-works project; it grabbed the unemployed, stuck them into long underused factories and turned the unused manufacturing potential towards something, allowing our nation to grow.
Something tells me that fighting a new war won't have that effect because businesses are completely different now. However, if effort was put into something else on a similar scale, then things would be much better for the US. Things that pop into my mind; Finding alternative sources of energy, cleaning up our vehicles, etc. Too bad the US is only interested in nationalizing banks and making half-hearted attempts at making our cars appealing to anyone.

:awesome:[21:58] Boba: "Zeppelins are the worst possible military unit. They are floating - not flying, but FLOATING - targets filled with highly combustible materials. I still don't get why a single rifle shot doesn't destroy them in any video game they've been in."
[21:58] Boba: what if said zeppelin was constructed of lead

Hey CN, try actually responding to peoples posts rather than quoting them for an excuse to whore your tired forced memes out while sitting on that fence of yours.
Your happy enough to dismiss things but won't ever contribute. This makes your posts hard to take seriously because you seem to be simply trolling, and lacking in effort at that I must say.
I see many many facts to thoroughly prove that we are fucked, and the US government and the FED is the main contributing cause and I and many others haven't seen or heard of any to suggest the opposite. Your only 'argument' seems to be :insert emoticon and ron paul jibberish here: it's just how it is.
Post the facts (or conspiracies) to suggest that the economy and our continuing transgression is not the cause of the underhanded shady dealings of the government and the fed and I'll happily accept defeat.
I'm not anti information here, I'm anti people who seem to be against critical thinking. Which is what you don't do.
