A good economy, CAN support a better military
The BEST military, CANNOT support an economy.
It sounds out of grasp, or un-thinkable. But if the USA economy really goes down that far, if we are poor and "starving" (so to speak) and we have the biggest baddest military...what does that lead to? It sounds far fetch, but so does invading a country against orders of the rest of the world.
