“The Politically-Incorrect Guide to American History” actually addresses the belief that WWII was what brought us out of the depression, denying said belief as false.

According to the book, it was the return to normal free-market capitalism and the death of FDR (and thus, no more reason to live in fear of what new economic outrages he would do) that brought back prosperity.

The unemployment rate went down dramatically by 1942 and stayed down. The good news is FDR was dead when the war ended, and America and it’s the economy prospered. Even though up until RR the income tax was set at confiscatory rates, near 90% for the top marginal rate. When Reagan cut that way back, the economy took off.

New Deal II is a scam ... Reject Obamunism.

Makes sense. Pulling troops arbitrarily out of Iraq and Afghanistan will increase unemployment rates among soldiers,geographically, and suppliers. Those unemployed troops and their families will have less money to spend. War is exponentially a financial boon. It creates jobs all across the land from soldiers to suppliers.
