This is an example of [[Statism]] in [[Conservapedia]]:
"The '''guns and butter economic concept''' describes the government allocation to defense spending versus social programs."<ref>[https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/08/guns-butter.asp What Does "Guns and Butter" Mean in Government Spending?], Investopedia</ref>[https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Guns_or_butter&action=edit&oldid=2087044] The statist article claimed: "As an economy produces more guns ([[military]] spending) '''it must reduce its production of butter''' (food), and vice versa."<ref>[https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/gunsandbutter.asp Guns-and-Butter Curve: Definition and How It Works], Investopedia</ref> This totally false. The [[Guns or butter]] debate is over transferring the production of butter away from [[consumers]] in order to produce [[munition]]s, '''NOT reducing its production.''' The sources used are [[Economic planning|command and control]], [[statist]] arguments.

The '''guns OR butter''' debate is between [[government]] [[military]] spending vs [[private sector]] [[consumer]] choices. Unlike the [[Soviet Union]], the [[United States Government]] DOES NOT produce [[butter]].

"Deriving their just power by the consent of the governed" - people must agree to give up their right to purchase [[butter]] to fight a [[war]], not have it imposed upon them top-down, as [[User:Conservative]]'s [[statist]] [[economic]] [[theory]] implies.
