Ron Paul "Just Think Of All Those Troops Spending All That Money Back At Home!"


Many economists have demonstrated that - contrary to commonly-accepted myth - war is actually bad for the economy.

Ron Paul gives yet another reason to bring the troops home:

Just think of all those troops spending all that money back at home!

While those claiming that war stimulates the economy and creates jobs might say that bringing a bunch of unemployed veterans home would hurt the economy, the truth is that government stimulus money spent in the private sector stimulates more than money spent on the military.
