How many times do you need it pointed out to you that the wars had NOTHING to do with the economy collapsing?
Is this really how uninformed people are?
Let me say it one more time: The wars were a huge mistake and helped drive our debt through the ceiling. Total disasters.
The ECONOMY collapsed because of the housing market collapse in the 3rd quarter of 2008. That was caused by bills that were passed in Congress in the 1990's that created a housing bubble.
When the housing market collapsed, banks started failing. The economy collapsed.
Do you even understand what happened?
The war caused more debt. Didn't affect the economy one bit in 2008.
The housing market collapse (caused by CONGRESS in the 1990's) is what caused the economic collapse at the end of 2008 and has us in bad shape right now.
I feel like I'm talking to fence posts on here.
(not trying to be disrespectful to you, but goddamn...even if you WERE ignorant of how things work, it's been pointed out a dozen times in these threads)
