Talking About Shit I Know Nothing About.

I don't like to talk economics, mostly because I haven't bothered to remain informed about what's happening and why. But I can't help but thinking that if we were to go to war to solve this crisis--if we go to war in an attempt to fix the economy--it wouldn't work as well as the conservative talking heads seem to think it would. They're claiming that WWII was what pulled us out of The Great Depression, and it's sort of being suggested that the same thing could work now... but would it? I mean, part of the reason WWII helped (notice that I'm not saying fixed) the economy in the States is because it created jobs. But, see, would it now? Since we've outsourced everything? And who the fuck would buy bonds right now? Does anyone really trust that they'll get that money back? Though, I suppose if you put Obama's portrait on them people would buy 'em up, right?

It just seems like a fucking retarded theory. Not to mention the fact that we're already at war. But maybe I should learn the facts before I form an opinion...

I'm going to go skulk back to my dark, ignorant corner now.
