Here we go.

🙄

Wat

and we have POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN OUR STREETS

our economy is doing great

Not to mention war is usually good for the economy

So, yes, military spending in the long run can be good for the economy

War is never good for the economy, fool.

> Country is better
> GDP up
> culture being destroyed

It's almost as if all you fucking care about is GDP.

We shouldn't go to war for this reason

It translates into dead-weight loss and surplus wealth destruction.

yeah, every now and again..... not for going on nearly 20 FUCKING YEARS WITHOUT HALT

pulling out of Iraq won't solve our cultural problems

That's just dumb

We shouldn't go to war for money, but in the long run with technological innovation, it's usually a net positive

agan, when its off and on

The internet, nuclear power, radios, comptuers, all were developed in the military

not just fuckin on, period

A high military budget leads to innovation

And also the war has died down to a crawl

We are in an occupation phase in iraq, like after WWII in germany

But, just because it costs something, it doesn't mean it doesn't cost less than the inevitable war of the future, as the regimes expand, threaten the globe and conduct genocides.

that's called exhaustion, bud, its a sign to fucking stop

We didn't hand back control to germany over their own military until like 1986

@Goddess Tyche

Now I'll be called a Neocon. 😉

The unemployment rate is down, wages are up, everything is great

Also I wouldn't dress in drag and read to children

I might dress in drag though

it's free money

I mean if you could improve your nation's GDP by like 10% just by dressing in drag for a little while, wouldn't you do it?

What kind of argument is that

It's a weird hypothetical

wages haven't budged an inch next to cost of living, and corporations are buying their own stock in broad daylight

Who cares if they buy their own stock? Also wages are up for one of the first times in 12 years

Big deal.

Who cares?

American conservatives aren't super-capitalist

dunno where this shit is coming from

How is their buying their own stocks not capitalist?
