12. The Iron Triangle

the unholy relationship between Congressional approvers who budget the waste to insure votes at home, the industries to pay those politicians off and lobby for the waste, and the military who wants to make sure their budgets don't suffer. The military has to make sure they spend all their monies or endanger their chances for the same amount in the next year. Spend it or lose it.

Then again, workers make planes, workers make wages, workers pay taxes, taxes are spent on planes (even if they sit in the desert) and the economy goes on and on. What a cycle. It's a make-work world out there . Shame it can't be redirected toward social issues.
