Of course, you with your MASH name and Star Trek avatar are obviously far more competent in the field of economics than John Maynard Keynes, AND all of the conservative economists who say WWII ended the depression (which is their way of trying to say the New Deal didn't work)
The depression was over way before 1946. We had full employment in this country pretty much as soon as we started building tanks and planes to send to the European and Pacific theaters.
Idiot.

Cool, so let's just draft about 1,000,000 young Americans and have another Surge in the Middle East. We'll steer production away from useful things like cars and computers and medicine and instead buy a bunch of bombs and drop them on Iranians.
Surely that will solve all of our economic problems, right?
Dumbass.
Oh, and when Keynes said the government should should pay people to dig holes and refill them, he was being fucking retarded. Nobel Prizes have been won by economists who pointed out that he was full of shit.
You seriously think we can bomb our way to prosperity? LOL Are you really this stupid? Is anybody?
