So why don't we just turn to a command economy, build tons of bombs and drop them all in the ocean? We could be building tons of tanks and planes, randomly destroying 75% of them, and the economy would boom, right? It's sooooo easy!

If war is so good for the economy, then why don't we just perpetually manufacture bombs and blow them up over the ocean? That way everyone will be employed in bomb factories and there will be a consistently high GDP.

While our economy would certainly be booming (as Tom and Riddick have so carefully explained), this wouldn't produce quite the same satisfaction as killing foreigners. We need honest-to-FDR perpetual warfare. Prosperity through conflict! Growth through destruction!
