End the two wars: Save the Economy. (616 hits)

What most of you don't get is that the war and the economy is closely connected. I think I posted here sometime ago excepts from the "Art of War" which is the oldest book on war in existence. The book warns through a metaphor of comparing war to a poison drug only to be taken as antidote like snake venom is used a cure to snake poison. The Art of war talks about war draining the economy eventually and destroys the morale of the country.

Mr. Obama came in touting "Anti-War" rhetoric and this made him a star very quickly. He promised to bring the troops home and fix the economy but both of them are unfulfilled promises. The stock markets are jittery as long as the war is going on investors will be slow to invest because bad war news or a terror attack could send the market down along with any stock prices. The job market is ocourse tied to the stock market as most businesses are part of industries that have their shares invested in the stock market. You can't create jobs when employers are worried adding new workers will turn bad because you will be spending more on labor than you receiving in profits. With no huge profit margins to give to investors Executives are freezing all hiring. Now the new investment has become cheap labor or slave labor as Executives have ordered layoffs and created a boss's market. Where workers are forced to work two jobs thus causing morale of the country to go down. People are over worked and are nervous about losing their jobs so spending is down. But the profit in the economy now is saving money on labor thus making labor the profit and not the sell of goods or services.

So what I'm saying is that as long as the war goes on in Iraq and Afghanistan we will be sinking deeper and deeper into economically uncertainty. So is Mr. Obama right to fight for Healthcare Reform while many Americans don't even have a job? Or that the morale of Americans is so low soon most will become sick. Sick of not having a job, sick of the huge debt they can't repay, sick of being overworked at jobs that have had huge layoffs of their co-workers, sick of worrying if their sons or daugthers will come home or come home wounded for life. Isn't it time we just turned back the clock? 9//11 wouldn't not have occured if Mr. Bush was doing his job. And the supposively responsible have been captured, killed or punished. Then why is the war still going on? Isn't it time America moved on and re-captured it's stability? Posted By: John Washington
