It would surely allow the GOP a reasoning to fall back on for rescinding their promise to the American people to cut military spending. It would most likely cost TRILLIONS, not billions, of dollars. Iran would fight like a cornered badger. Taxes would go up on all but the wealthiest, because as we know, the job creator's can't be denied the capital they need to create these war machine jobs. Jobs actually may rise for a bit. For a bit. It would even further destabilize the middle east. Israel would sit back, and holler out every so often, "Don't worry, we got this little trIangle covered" from behind the weaponry we provided them with. And once again, an unnecessary war would be fought on the backs of the poor and middle class.
Just as the wealthy castigate the poor for having no play in the game of taxes, the wealthy have no play in the game of war. Until a complete and all-encompassing draft is installed (as horrible as that sounds) the wealthy will have no play. When they start seeing their children come home in body bags, then the reality of what they have wrought will hit home. And it may have the unintended consequence of making them realize having some humanity isn't a weakness, or a bad thing.
