Illegal immigration is necessary to keep that part of the economy pumping.
Wars are needed for the rest of the economy.
Big huge balls to any politician willing to run on that platform. haha...
Another point along the same lines. It would be weird to have a military where nobody had actual combat experience. So, it wouldn't surprise me if the government actually used that and your points to justify some military actions. No question that money is a major factor. You can make a reasonable argument that every war our country has been in had something to do with money. Especially from 1890-forward..

Say what you like about the companies that supply the armed forces with weapons and whatnot, but they do employ quite a few people, and pump in decent money into the economy.
Grr, I'm getting cynical.
