War is the reason for the economy

It's been said in recent news reports that the war may have a significant effect on the economy. Of course it does. It should go without saying that when we demand significantly more oil to operate out military, we are going to notice an increase in oil and gas prices.

Petro fuels have become the basis for our semi modern economy. Now we see ourselves strangled at the gas pump. It is an obvious price to pay when no one is there to verify the supply.

It's most definitely a trade off. If you are going to have a war, you are going to have some expenditures. Not only life, but also money! With a war that has drenched on for 7 years now, we have incurred an incredible amount of debt. Some say that the economy is a part of the mortgage meltdown.

I don't think the mortgage crisis has much to do with the economy. Real estate is a commodity of our own country and so money is provided by mostly American based banks. On the other hand, with military investment, the profit is concentrated among a very few people that invest in such technologies and growth as that of a military unit.

The different branches of the military are large consumers of oil and military products such as gear, ammo and other combat equipment and personal.

John Mccain gets overrated

War presidents - As John McCain seems to be getting strong Republican support in Florida, one might question the sanity of the voters.

After 7 long years of war and an ever slowing and artificially maintained economy, you'd figure Americans would grow brains.

It's unfortunate if we get a war sustaining president into office. The war will only continue to drain our resources for the profit of the Americans who are in position to profit from military needs like weapons and oil sales.

Military oil usage has been shown to increase by as much as 30% or more during war time.

During the war times, the demand for oil is very high for this reason and so when demand goes up, what else goes up??

That's right....PRICE!

What are the main resources a modern day military needs to operate?

ARMS and OIL

Therefore....what is the best business to be in when we are at war....?

That's right...ARMS and OIL.

It's most certainly interesting to do a little quick research into which American own the most military and oil stocks. You'd be surprised.

So it kind of makes you wonder if this capital gains thing is biting ourselves in the tail.

In other words we are only at war to allow the sales of massive amounts of arms and oil to our very own taxpaying selves. All the revenue that results will end up in the pockets of the perpetrator.

Sometimes you need to look a little beneath the surface to see who really starts war!
