A war is basically using tax dollars to supplement the economy, this is obviously just economically speaking. The more the money in the US gets turned over the better, that means not sitting on money in savings, etc.

We cannot use war to justify stability of our own economy.
And now a group of democrats wants to add a war tax to pay for the war now, instead of making future generations pay for it.
