there are those...who have the ears of govt
who see war as the only way to fix things..others disagree

see govt can spend its war into creating an economy
creating work/jobs...creating cashflow

the trouble with all this being

govt needs ever more taxes..to repay the intrest on the money..
to repay the govt-bonds..that created the money

ie bankers win

Sending soldiers off to war..is a waste of human and material resources,..and is almost by definition wealth-destroying,

no matter what it does..to GDP..or unemployment rates

Wealth increases..when people are able to engage
in exchanges they believe will be mutually beneficial.

The production of new goods..that consumers wish to purchase
is the beginning..of this process..

When instead we borrow..from future generations
to spend on goods and services connected..not to the desires of consumers,..but rather to the desire of the politically powerful

to rain death..and destruction on other parts of the world,..we are not allowing individuals..the freedom to do the things they think will..make themselves better off.

And we are certainly not extending that freedom..to those killed in the name of our economy-enhancing war.

At a very basic level,..the idea..that any kind of spending is desirable..overlooks the fact that spending on war..(and, I would argue,public works as well)..actively prevents people from enhancing their wealth..through production and exchange..linked to consumer demand.

Employing people to dig holes
and fill them up again,

or to build bombs..that will blow up Iraqis,
will certainly reduce unemployment..and increase GDP,

but it won’t increase wealth.

The problem of economics is the problem
of coordinating producers and consumers.

This coordination happens when we produce
what consumers want using the least valuable resources possible.

That is why it is wealth-enhancing..to dig a canal using earth-movers with a few drivers..rather than millions of people using spoons,..even though the latter would generate more jobs.
