War, The American Tsunami by Charles E. Carlson
The single most important goal of American political leaders (or any politician) is to keep job levels up and to create the illusion of rising prosperity. This is done by diluting the currency--the result of spending money on " vitally necessary" causes that are, in fact, usually worthless and destructive, like the occupations of Iraq and Palestine, which are also paid for by American taxpayers. Some call this "inflation," which is the act of paying for jobs that don't produce anything.
