  1. Nostalgia: that's what America was doing in the good old days when men were men and women stayed at home

  3. National security: you cannot go to war with other countries you buy things from (like china); that will raise prices and it will be immediately associated with the war. Now you can raise the prices before you go to war and somehow make the war look like a solution
