The war in Afghanistan now going on for 17 years, was just given the green-light for an open ended expansion by President Trump. The immediate reaction for the stock market on this news was a triple digit gain for the Dow Jones industrial average.
So, what does this tell us?
There is nothing like the continued and expansion of wars to boost the stock market and the US economy.
History has unambiguously demonstrated that war and the expansion of wars, because of their ability to generate frankly awesome amounts of cash for corporate America regardless of the cost of human life, is in fact the single largest driver of the US economy.
The fact of the matter is that the United States has been involved in perpetual wars ever since establishing the dollar as the world reserve currency along with the petrodollar.
As many of you are aware, I have explained that in order for our debt-based economy to continue to function, every conceivable, and inconceivable way will be instituted to borrow cash into existence, and this also means never ending, open ended, expanding wars.
History has also proven that every single time, without exception, when our economy here in the United States is in decline a new war, or the expansion of war is introduced as a mechanism or "tool" to boost our economy-and works every time.
