It was silly because he said he wasn't "aware" that the Vietnam war took place in the 90s. Beyond that he also implied that to fuel an economic expansion it takes a war, which the 90s economy proved it does not. FT

<<I don't agree with Ish's premise, but I don't think his comment was silly. If LBJ was pursuing the war as an indirect way of pursuing financing for the Great Society by deliberately inflating the economy - it would have nothing to do with the '90's boom. >> 90s boom's? What the hell did the Great Society push by LBJ have the fuck to do with the 90's economy??? Will you or FT tell me what LBJ's Great economy had to do with the 90's?? I said nothing about it impacting the 90's. I keep hearing about LBJ and the 90's. LBJ was pushing his "Great Society" in the 70's. Needed the war for revenues.
