White Flag...I give up. I was making a smart assed remark about War pulling us into a depression because you give credit to a War pulling us out. Neither statment is entirely correct. It was the jobs created by the government that pulled us out of the depression. The fact that there was a war going on only dictated the type of jobs that were created.


This is going no where fast and I'm tired of discussing it.

By the way War isn't pulling us out of a depression now is it? We have been at war for 8 years and the economy still went into the toilet.
