Re: Does any one see a problem with this?
This is an interesting point, and not without merit. I would rather we were more open about the fact that the Pentagon is just our society's way of publicly subsidizing high technology. I'd rather we didn't have to build better weapons so we have better weapons than the people we sold our old one's to. If you think about it spending on weapons is a huge waste of money, because they aren't wealth. The work that goes into building them doesn't result in wealth the way investment in infrastructure does.
