Is total economic collapse keeping us safe?

[Winterblues]

There is more to keeping America safe than saying the bogeyman was kept away. No nuke was dropped on the US during Clinton's term either but America Prospered. People didn't lose their homes and get tossed out into the streets where their safety is truly at risk. No, keeping America safe, is a lot more involved than just saying we bullied terrorist into not attacking. Safety comes in many forms, and IMO Bush* failed in every single one of them.

4. Is exporting America's heavy industry to China protecting us?

I remember hearing something in Civics class about America's Industrial strength being the thing that won WWI and WWII...
