Default Is it Over?

How can we sustain the war- any war- now that America is BROKE?
Is the anti war sentiment an empty argument now?
Will America be able to sustain ANY military effort with this enormous debt on top of our already crushing deficit?

America is NOT broke...Not even close...

As stated awhile ago, the war pays for less than 2% of the gross domestic product...

WWII cost the GDP over 9%...

It's nothing but a scare tactic to say the war is deciding the economy...

America could not only sustain this war, but 3 more just like it at the same time...

Not trying to say the war caused the economy. Will the economy affect the war?
