End the Fed, by Rep. Ron Paul (R, TX): on Homeland Security


Ron Paul: Politically convenient wars are not at all necessary

The Depression was not ended by the beginning of WWII, as many still claim. War's mass death & destruction are never a benefit to the economy, yet the warning that bad economic times frequently lead to war--when a country can least afford it--is appropriate today. War distracts from economic problems, a benefit to bad politicians. Unemployment rates go down when millions are engaged in the war effort, even forced into it. All too often these politically convenient wars are not at all necessary.
