Wars do not only boost weapon industry, weapon industry boost ressource suppliers, people get hoards, and so on. Afterwards rebuilding is a huge economy booster. In other words, money flow is drastically increased. And a low money flow is one of the main problems of recessions.

Secondly, just take a look at USA's last decades wars and recessions:

Looking at the last 40 years' recessions , youll notice that (except one) every single recession was either directly followed by a war, or the war even started some months before the recession officially ended. Usually, you CANT start a war during recession, as there is no money.
As most people are probably too lazy to do so, but just yell "CONSPIRACY IDIOT" ill do so here:

Recession period	war
Dec 1969–Nov 1970	Cambodian civil war, USA's major actions started in may 1970
Nov 1973–Mar 1975	1975 Spring offensive (Vietnam), started in december 1974
Jan–July 1980	The only one without a directly inferfering war
July 1981–Nov 1982	Lebanese Civil War, August 1982
July 1990–Mar 1991	Gulf War, August 1990. American no-fly zones in early 1991
March 2001–Nov 2001	War on Terror, October 2001
Dec 2007–June 2009	Several war on terror operations

Sure, as always im just a crazy conspirator talking about crazy ideas without any proof. Just ignore the above facts and think whatever you like, but id bet my ass that USA are going to start a war BEFORE they solved their financial problems (quite probably in syria). They already tried that just some weeks ago, when their financial ruin already was as sure and obvious as it is today (you dont loose trillions within a week), but luckily were stopped for several reasons.

(Edit: Sure, the current situation isnt a real recession, but basically a result of the recent recessions. Though "symptoms" are the same and even stronger, the government is rather hit from this than the industry. Possible cure is the same, a stronger economy also means more taxes and higher financial trust. So no need to cry about me talking about recessions)

BTW: Talking about me eating all thats being fed is a quite stupid idea if you call everything thats not on the news a lie and a conspiracy. You shouldnt eat just this, but rather choose your own food, and gather information beyond the TV.
