I think that highlights the failure of so many other institutions more than anything else.


At this point could we even make meaningful reductions? Or are to attached at the hip?

I don't want to her about the cuts they are making either, So we scrapped a jet that was going to replace a jet that was already the most advanced jet in the world BFD
Defense spending creates jobs - not crappy construction jobs that will be farmed out to Mexicans and disappear when the work is done, or the kind of jobs that will add more leeches to the Teachers Union's tit - but high paying, high tech jobs that attract the best minds from around the world. With most of our industry gone at this point, there aren't many of those jobs left.

That spending and those jobs then yeild innovations that have a direct positive impact on people's lives, such as the one that allows us to post here on the .org.

Long live the military-industrial complex!
