Question

My questions is for economist. Are wars good for economy? Where would the 300 billion be? Are we in economy trouble?

Answer 1

It would be spent on the War in Afghanistan.

Answer 2

I honestly believe the government people will allow themselves a hugh raise in Washington. I feel the remainder would be put aside for another possible war.
I feel the poor and possible middle class will never see any portion of it. The schools are closing one by one every year in states throughout our country. They will be gone and never brought back. More and more political people in society are now being tried and convicted for wrong doings....who can be trusted is an answer yet to unfold...do we have to buy that information as well? What can the goverment do with that money...
feed the poor, have a country with free health and rx care. Allow people to be equal, not put into classes like, the rich, the middle class and the poor.
