Think about what would have happened if Bush wound down the Iraq war in say 2008. On top of the unemployment from the recession we would have thousands of ex-military looking for jobs. We would also have defense contractors laying off in droves. The recession would have become a full blown depression.

This didn't happen because more than a few Republicans realized that they could have an economic stimulus without them actually voting for an economic stimulus. The wars provided the cover for the necessary ongoing deficit spending.
