HERSH: There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war. The one that interested me the most was why don’t we build — we in our shipyard — build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up. [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slgBrbNXrbs]

That's more than twice what the wars cost this year (though still less than the entire annual cost of the hard and software of empire). Now tell me again how all this borrowing/inflation is supposed to be good for the economy again?
