I didn't say the two were connected.
The biggest problem to hit our economy would be trying to help out in Eurasia. We were pretty isolated when WW I happened, we got rich by selling military equipment. Eventually we actually got involved, after the war we went into recession.
Same with WW II, but it resulted in the Great Depression.
Now we're trying to stop terrorism and fix all the problems in Iraq, and our economy is suffering. The US needs to just stop caring about the European and Asian conflicts.
Edit: Here you go bionicle.
