Economic Crisis and WWIII
I have often read statements that indicate that the Great Depression was ended as a result of WWII. By going to war, it is said, we managed to cure the greatest economic crisis in American history.
It is said that today’s economic crisis might to be as bad as the Great Depression. If such is the case perhaps we should take a lesson from the past.
Instead of turning our factories into vast production lines building planes, ships, tanks, and guns and declaring WWIII we might declare a make-believe WWIII and instead of sending these planes, ships, tanks, and guns to far off places where we can kill people and destroy property we could achieve the same effect by building our factories on ships and sending those ships to sea.
War is only our second best consumer of goods, our very best consumer of goods would be a factory mounted on a ship with the assembly line terminating at the ramp on the stern of the ship whereby the product can be easily dumped into the sea.
Such economic prosperity can only be imagined.

Haven't you heard, the US is not a manufacturing society, we are high tech, intellectual property, innovation. We have long ago turned over the hard work to other people making $3.00 a day. Now if you could take one of those ships and put a call center on it off the coast of Virginia, you would have something. On the other hand the view of that thing sitting out in the Atlantic would offend someone no doubt.
