The least efficient way to stimulate the economy is with military spending. Why?

• When you are done you have nothing to show for it, no highways, schools, education, sewers or airports that help support business.
• The spending usually happens on the other side of the world. The spinoffs flow there, not back home.
• Military spending is a high profit business. This means most of the money ends up in the pockets of a very few, very rich people. Other forms of spending spread the money around more evenly.
