The United States is not currently at war.

2.The FAA with a lot of pushing from EAA and AOPA have created the LSA
license and aircraft certification standard that will allow you to buy a
brand new 2 place aircraft comparable to the one I'm building for less than
$100K. Take a 16 hour course and you will even be able to work on you own
LSA aircraft.

Of course, you can't do much with it. And if you want an LSA because you
failed the medical for a regular PPL, you're out of luck (that's a really
bizarre rule).

3. The homebuilt industry is at an all time high. There are 1000's of people
building planes that out perform in one way or another anything that has
been built by Cessna or Piper.

This assumes that a homebuilt would satisfy your particular interest in
aviation.
