Did you not read of the House Investigations. I don't remember but think
it was 2008.

You can buy gasoline refined overseas by the tanker load. If you
don't buy it, someone else will. If you think gasoline is expensive
here, try driving around in Europe for a while.

My concerns are here in the USA. Wall Street/Washington Globalist want
us to share all the problems of everywhere else for their wealth.
They haven't made the Bushmen, of the Sub Sahara rich but they have made
us poor.
Share the wealth with the rest of the world/share the poverty of the
rest of the world.
World Peace through world trade.
it is all bs. the truth is raid Americans and their Republic for
Globalist Elites pockets.

Be careful what you ask for. A lot of things that we now buy for
half way reasonable prices would double or triple in price if made in
the US (at current wage rates). Some things might become totally
unavailable because the manufacturing expertise for certain products
does not exist here. A lot of the best engineering talent in the US
has been siphoned of by the military/aerospace industries.

The military/aerospace industries, through the ages, have provided us
with quit a few useful things.

The first that comes to mind is the Roman road system.

Our large-scale military adventurism the last six decades as provided us
with nothing but budget deficits.

I suppose we could say the arms race got us the micro chip, the
internet, the GPS system., better RADAR systems, better jet planes and
most of the space program with all of the stuff that came out of that.
(communication satellites, the Hubble telescope and Tang).
Just the things that came out of DARPA is impressive.

It is also the biggest jobs program in history. It is a shame the
public would not have been willing to pay that much for something less
destructive but fear is a powerful force.

As Zig Zigler says,. there are only two things that make people spend
their money, fear and love and they always spend more in response to
fear.

You did notice I used the term "military adventurism," didn't you?

Military adventurism usually is defined as the tendency of a government
or military to take extreme risks in the management of foreign policy
and affairs with the use of troops. You know, like Vietnam, Iraq II,
Afghanistan...the stuff that didn't and won't work out for us.
Large-scale military adventurism to most readers would imply war-making,
not the development and manufacture of materiel.
