So the Cold War can justify deficit spending but a humongous economic crisis can't?

For a lot of people yes.

A full scale Nucleaer war between the US and USSR would of been a lot more disasterous then the current economic crisis.

The fact you can't instantly recognize that is kinda crazy.

was that a joke?

If we didn't do anything it would be cheaper to print newspapers on dollar bills.

 

Actually that's the opposite of what would of happened.

Also. Yes a full scale nuclear war would still be worse then that.

 

You also make the assumption that spending more on a war is always an effective way to win that war.  That may be true in some cases, but we put a lot of money and manpower into wars like Vietnam and Iraq and have only gotten back questionable results in return.  Sometimes spending money on a war just means you spent a lot of money and didn't get shit in return.

 

You know what would be almost as bad as nukulur war? If everyone's currency went to shit at the same time. I can't even begin to describe the implications. Militia rule, people freaking out, if a country was perceived as being weakened it could even lead to nukulur attacks because of the lawlessness and chaos.
