National Debt?

It is clear enough that there is no one particular cure for the sickness that is the United States national debt. But drastic times call for drastic measures and a new playbook to combat this growing crisis. With a clean slate of ideas to work with, it is important to remember that history repeats itself. Even the great depression was no match for the American way of bouncing back, so a good place to start is by asking what we did as a nation to recover from the darkest of times. The main stimulant for the economy was World War II, when our nation pulled through triumphantly against poor economy as well as other countries. This is what we need: a war. Not just any war, as the war in Afghanistan is doing all but helping our countries financial crisis. What we need is a new war, a war to combat unemployment as well as our enemies, as WWII achieved. We need to start a war with China. By choosing China as a target, we will fight the main cause of our debt, while improving our internal economy. Also, by beginning a new war, we will have valid cause to remove stationed soldiers from the middle east. Furthermore, an unprovoked attack on our Chinese trading partners will render them unprepared to oppose us. This will disrupt their industries, giving American corporations a much needed financial edge. Ultimately, starting a war with China is not the most moral option, but it is the most logical if we as a nation hope to free ourselves from national debt in our lifetimes.
