It's never about spending on the war machine

4. Military spending is incomprehensible.

You can go to the web site below and have sent to your email a daily or weekly listing of all the military contracts valued at $6.5 million and over that are let each day.

The amounts are staggering ... really incomprehensible to average Americans.
The listing, however, begins to make a person realize just how huge is military spending.

The U.S. military establishment really is the greatest program for the transfer of wealth from working folks to the richest of the rich in the history of humankind.

And ... it is sacrosanct from Democrats and Republicans alike.
And ... way too many Americans go along with this because of images of wounded soldiers -- like we must spend trillions of dollars because we all must 'support the troops' and thank them for their service. The truth is that the short-time enlisted GI is a very small portion of where theses hundreds of billions of dollars go -- it is almost like they are the 'loss-leader' or the advertising cost for the MIC.

Since the majority of voters fall for this pro-military, patriotic propaganda, when the big crash comes in this country, we will deserve it and we will suffer ... and the military-indutrial elite will be just fine in their gated communities.
