It was clearly bad policy by Bush and Obama. The wars are needed to protect freedom.

Side: Bad policy

It was created by huge taxes and to much spending. The only reason I created this debate is that there's an idiot who thinks the reseson was created by war.

What was the reason for what? Bad policy or war did what? You need to clarify.

Also, after insulting me the way you did, don't try and talk about me in third person. You can't hide from me. I'll notice you everywhere. I'll always find you.

Now, do you plan on making a good argument? What is this debate even about?

If you can always find me, where am I in the real world? Also I meant to write recession. I'm a terrible speller. Spell check on this site is terrible.

I'm the idiot that said the two-front war over a decade old is part of the problem. Thanks for letting me know I got under your skin - it shows that you can't handle the truth!

To kick start a economy is a "good little war" - but not for 10 years! I pity the fool who thinks otherwise!

"Wars are expensive (in money and other resources), destructive (of capital and human capital), and disruptive (of trade, resource availability, labor management). Large wars constitute severe shocks to the economies of participating countries. Notwithstanding some positive aspects of short-term stimulation and long-term destruction and rebuilding, war generally impedes economic development and undermines prosperity. "

I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about Chatturgha.

Side: Bad policy

As bad as Keynesian economic policy is, the consumption theory is the actual cause of the recession. It is called the boom and bust. However, by no means are wars any economic benefit to any economy.

It is more bad policy, but it exacerbated by three wars.

Oh well.. Recession is a result of a war. This war is of'course the result of a bad policy. But, the results of the war were devastating. It led to a a stage so pathetic that the employed were unemployed, the housed were unhoused. Everything was expensive and hard to get. And lives were lost and are still at stake.

Side: wars

Too many wars caused the economic recession. It is now 2015 and war in the Middle East is still going on.

'There has never been a state that has benefited from an extended war'. Obama needs to ends the wars to fix the ecomony.

"...if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain ... Poverty of the State exchequer causes an army to be maintained by contributions from a distance. Contributing to maintain an army at a distance causes the people to be impoverished ... In war, then, let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns."
