When the war machine is running everything is great. But when it slows down people get laid off and have no money to buy stuff. So there is a recession as economies normalize.
When fiscal or monetary policy fails to stimulate the economy, we turn to war.
If our economy wasn't in a recession last quarter, it will definitely be in recession this quarter. Obama seems keen on avoiding war. But, the next POTUS--whoever it is--will likely start something.

There is always a recession after a war.
It's not a conspiracy it's economics.
