Sounds like something straight out of Orwell's 1984? The economy is based on ridiculous spending my the military, which enables companies to write paychecks to facilitate consumer spending at home. So basically, our way of life depends on finding excuses to go off and kill people, which in turn justifies our military-industrial complex.

No, of course not, and that's the most extreme possible way to take my comments.
But remember that what did more than anything to cure this county of the great depression was the massive Keynesian capital injection that we called WWII.
