Uh. Spending $572B in two years on stimulating the economy stimulates the economy.

Also comparing now to the cold war on defense spending is obviously going to stuff comparisons up.


Government spending is government spending. If the answer to a bad economy is government spending, then why is the problem government spending?

The point of this article, is to point out that we are in a very bad place today economically, and it had very little to do with the war.

What really got us in trouble, even after the war is over, we are still going to be doing. It's important to know that.

FYI: I think government spending is the 0 wrong way to recover. But don't take my word for it, just look at the last 2 years.
