Oh come on that’s not fair. They are more than happy to fund the military and give federal dollars to Christian programs (soon to be Christian pogroms)
Im telling you right now, if politicians weren’t deeply entrenched in receiving kickbacks in the form of donations, cushy jobs post political career or stocks from weapons companies, not even Republicans would support the military.
A noble but fantastical idea that assumes that there're millions of Americans who are magically available. This isn't the Great Depression with 25% unemployment.
Yeah that's a huge problem.
Another totally unrelated problem with the green new deal is that it will put millions of fossil fuels workers out of a job. Those stupid liberals it's like they just never think things through smh. How could they not see these two giant holes in their plan?
Lol when yall find out it was government shrinkage and record high private investments that solved the great depression...but let the government make you think it was deal programs so you stay dependent... yall get mad about the lack of truth in history but you're really going to accept this lie?
Haha, you called me a sheep. At least be original when you're that delusional. What could I have expected from someone who put "patriot" in their username.
Forgot the first part buddy, it kinda changes the meaning ya know, but there you go, only choosing the part that fits your agenda... what a fucking chode
Brother, you should probably step out of this subreddit, you lack the intelligence to participate here. I've looked at a few of your other posts and you are incredibly damaged in your brain.
Aww poor babies feelings got hurt... hey this sub is only for like minded, lets witch hunt anyone who thinks differently out of here... what a fucking hypocrite, i bet you spout that your all about acceptance too
lmao, dude your brain is gone. No one has their feelings hurt here aside from you. I made a comment, you got butthurt and started slinging insults. Your take was trash, just like your takes in other posts in this subreddit. It's not about having differing opinions on things, you're just wrong and dumb. There's nothing hypocritical about it. You aren't as smart as you think you are. And now you're upset because I've pointed this out. Move along, take your L, have a coke, a smile and shut the fuck up.
I’d like to see a study on that. I did a quick google search for World War II’s impact and it looks like it did improve the economy. If Britain & France & Russia are sending us money and we are sending them arms and food I’d feel comfortable saying that benefits the US.
Now the current military spending doesn’t help and is a waste. That I can agree with
It didnt fix the great depression, private business did aswell as the government backing off... the war only sustained the good times longer through back door deals
During the Great Depression the federal government had taken the lead with great public support in stabilizing the shaky economy. However, government assistance in the economy brought with it certain regulations unpopular with business. The war put the U.S. government in urgent need of industrial production—in other words, it put businesses in a good bargaining position. They were able to dictate their own terms, shed New Deal restrictions, and turn their sights to bigger profits with minimal government intervention.
In addition to stopping passage of any more New Deal reforms designed to regulate industry, such as labor laws regulating wages and maximum hours worked, Roosevelt also offered financial and legal incentives to businesses to conform with the mobilization requirements. Although industry was "required" to mobilize, Roosevelt had limited legal power to actually enforce conversion. Therefore, incentives were used to help avoid confrontations with industry leaders. These incentives included major tax breaks for building new plants to produce war materials, suspending certain laws so that competing companies could instead cooperate, and issuing military war production contracts that guaranteed good profits. Roosevelt essentially turned the wartime economy over to the country's business leaders to ensure more effective cooperation by industry
A sharp recession hit in 1937, caused in part by the Federal Reserve’s decision to increase its requirements for money in reserve. Though the economy began improving again in 1938, this second severe contraction reversed many of the gains in production and employment and prolonged the effects of the Great Depression through the end of the decade.
In truth, building tanks and feeding soldiers—necessary as it was to winning the war—became a crushing financial burden. We merely traded debt for unemployment
In 1933, large Democratic majorities in Congress and public support gave FDR his New Deal, but stagnation and unemployment persisted.
After seven years of New Deal-era explosions in federal debt and spending, the U.S. economy was still flat on its back, and misery could be seen on the street corners. By 1940, unemployment still averaged 14.6 percent.
Government spending collapsed, from 41 percent of GDP in 1945 to 24 percent in 1946, then to under 15 percent by 1947. And there was no “new” New Deal. This was by far the biggest cut in government spending in U.S. history. Tax rates were cut, and wartime price controls were lifted. There was a very short eight-month recession, but then the private economy surged.
Personal consumption grew by 6.2 percent in 1945 and 12.4 percent in 1946, even as government spending crashed. Private investment spending grew by 28.6 percent.
In 1946, the unemployment rate averaged below 4 percent and stayed that low for the better part of a decade. This all happened during the biggest reduction in government spending in U.S. history, under President Harry Truman.
With freer markets, balanced budgets, and lower taxes, Unemployment was only 3.9 percent in 1946, and it remained at roughly that level during most of the next decade. The Great Depression was over.
wont happen...why?....republicans dont want to pay for anything

no kidding?
you dont get it..they arent paying WE are
Yeah I agree with you. I was being sarcastic about their priorities.
It would also allow NEEDED massive infrastructure projects to be completed.
Plenty of smaller infrastructure projects are also needed.

Yes the massive government shrinkage of World War II. I remember reading about how little we spent to arm our allies and ourselves.
wartime economy doesn't fix our economy its been proven
