War has always been a way for government to send pork monies out, this is nothing new.
Our economy is still built off defense and war (although that is shrinking to almost nothing). WW2, WW1, Korea, Vietnam.... there was a reason the economies boomed during those wars = Government sent big ass money everywhere.
To be quite honest, while I never like the idea of piggy backing money, but we need may need those farm subsidy emergency money.... I know the Citrus crops are taking serious hits. And look at it this way..... they ship our tax money there or we pay more for food. I'd rather see the tax money go there someone who needs the food mnay not be able to buy it if we didn't buoy the price.
Then again, looking at it from the money aspect..... this war sucks because it really isn't helping the economy........ what a fucked up world when you can't even count on a war helping your economy....... oh wait, that's what happens when all the jobs and manufacturing goes overseas, nations that may be hostile and not like you make the money.
And if we had those factories and had people working at them making decent wages........ we would have more tax revenue, a truly booming economy and no one would say anything about any of this.
