From a political angle, sure it makes sense. Never let a good crisis go to waste. From an economic angle, it would be incredibly disruptive to the economy and could take more than a decade to adapt depending on how far they go. So for the good of the country, it’s a bad idea.

We didn’t really get out of the Great Depression of 1929 until we entered WW2.

Democrats have kept down black people for decades. They have no mercy. They have no pity or concern for the misery they cause. All that matters is that they are in power and totally control all of us.

They are sick, demented, evil people.

Quiet part? They haven't shut up about it since Bush senior announced their New World Order. I guess it's hidden on the dollar bills too.

Here's another quiet part outloud from the WSJ, 1992.

We didn’t really get out of the Great Recession of 2008 until Trump came along.

“From a political angle, sure it makes sense. Never let a good crisis go to waste. “

And from that psychopathic value system, it is a very short step to “create the crisis” you wish to exploit.

Actually the demand for war supplies by other countries did provide plenty of stimulus to the USA economy in 1939-1941.

While the UK was well out of it and on a solid war footing, to the extent such a little island could be, by the early 30s. They, like others, did it by cutting spending. We did the opposite driven by the socialist Roosevelt.

And in that case, I concede, it was in large part by government intervention... military investment and the cold war, the highway construction, and then expansion of US made consumer and industrial goods etc.

Great observation, monk, but you don't have to feel like you are conceding. Those first two are actually things the government is allowed to do constitutionally, provide for the common defense and provide for infrastructure legislatively; these can be touted and still keep your conservative bonafides. The latter part of your statement is the natural free market economic progression as a result of the former.

I get your point, just don't feel the need to hold your hat while saying it. You have been here long enough that those of us who have been freepers prior to the change in political purity testing know you are legit 😆
