Well, that's the root of all of it. Our constant state of war is an excuse to pump money into a defense budget that drives the discretionary spending. We have an economy that requires our government run a 4-5% budget deficit to have 2% GDP growth per annum. The bloated defense budget and the payments it makes to the military industrial complex fuels that like no other.
