When you spend federal funds on military hardware you are socializing
defense contractors.
The difference is you can talk the American public into buying a new
fighter jet we don't need but they won't buy a refrigerator they don't
need.
It doesn't make any sense to me either.
In the sales business they say there are only 2 emotions, love and
fear. Fear is easier to sell.
Defense is selling based on fear,
You can say the same thing about the trillion dollar "terrorism"
boondoggle.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect
Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the
common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of
Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America."
Gosh.
