WW2 as an economic model.

Curious - why hasn't the almighty Obama Pelosi & Reid (the three stooges) taken care of the military spending problem?

Anyway it doesn't quite hold up. For starters any tariffs at all, you get a trade war which would be disasterous for the economy. Second, there was so much pent up consumer demand after ww2, which we can't replicate.

I'd have a lot more respect for the porkulous bill if the majority of the dough actually went into infrastructure. I did indeed vote for a statewide levy a while back that was specifically earmarked for bridges and roads, but the politicos don't like that - it interferes with their handouts.

Gotta fix the wars before you cut the spending.
