The end of the depression in the U.S. is associated with the onset of the war economy of World War II, beginning around 1939.[1]
So unless I hear any objections, I suggest we start selling massive arms, munitions, and combat vehicles to international conflicts.

On the supply side, it has been observed that wars sometimes have the effect of accelerating progress of technology to such an extent that an economy is greatly strengthened after the war, especially if it has avoided the war-related destruction.
Supports my thesis that if you put a scientist's life on the line, they will solve the mysteries of the universe, and then use those finding to kill many a people.
Hmmm, but who will spark this new World War? I heard Mexico called North Korea gay. Spread the rumor!

Well, perhaps make it more public and less regard for consciousness. Have press photos of our president shaking hands with the militias of Darfur.

The United States is already the #1 arms dealer in the world.

being in a post nuclear mutually-assured-destruction world, we really can't afford to get into any real wars again...

well we're kinda just coming out of two wars, shouldn't our economy bolster itself up magically then
yo, everyone agrees the first nuke dropped is the end of civilization as we know it, and the world's armies kind of benchmarked superweapons with the advent of nuclear technology too, but what if someone invented some sort of clear zone system where if a nuke were to be dropped, it would render it harmless somehow? maybe some crazy scientist wanker doc. brown dude will suprise us all MAYBE JUST MAYBE ???? i dont want to die
The technology they made from that money was all underground...making sub-ground hiding places from nuke-war III. Sorry as they are, it's only space enough for some millions billionaire white people... Exactly like they want it Michael Jackson should be sorry he's broke, finally his change of colors could have gone for some good purpose.

WWII helped get us out of the depression, but I think the Iraq war helped contribute to the current recession.
