>> THE SINGLE MOST important issue in allocating national resources is war versus peace, or as macroeconomists put it, “guns versus butter.” <<

Lyndon B. Johnson and George W. Bush were both in thrall to the delusion that we could afford "guns AND butter". Is it something about the Texas frame of mind?

It's an illusion that americans vote for war, it's the politicians they always say
we want peace then they go to war, look Obama promised stopping Iraq, Afghanistan
and closing Gitmo, now look at Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Ukraine, Yemen
and Gitmo is still open, want a Nobel Peace Prize?

americans are wimps, scaredy pants, you go first type of people, but overall I think they
want peace......but as alexmg would say WTFDHK
