Although the economy can suffer, the rich will always have money and will continue to buy at high prices. Even if we did go to war in Europe, war happens to be very good for the US economy. It's what got us out of the "Great Depression in fact". It offers lots of jobs actually. Employment numbers rise dramatically. After WW2, lots of people lost their jobs and the economy sank again.
