I don’t think the US knows any other economic recovery options besides war.

We haven’t really changed it up since WW2.

I don't think WW3 would actually help the US economy. WW2 pulled the US out of the Depression because the manufacturing capacity was there but there wad a crisis of confidence and liquidity. The government pumping tons of money into military spending solved both of those problems.

Nowadays, the US doesn't have enough manufacturing. Even the weapons America supposedly builds are riddled with imported Chinese parts. Go to war with China or any major power and the US Government will flood weapons makers with money but that money has nowhere to go so it'll just drive up inflation even more.

I agree that WW3 won’t save the economy this time, I just think the US doesn’t have another answer.

Although I’m sure they’ll keep throwing money at consulting companies to research the issue and give them the same answer back.
