...not to mention the bomb and weapon manufacturers and support companies who will see their incomes rise on the public dole. Legislators from those producing states will be all on board with perpetual war.

As for 'growth,' you're right to point to the inequality in the benefit of that growth; not much forthcoming for the workers; most benefit coming to the small group of investors inside and outside the country.

Best wishes for the new year, Octafish.
