So we should have socialized our industries, and should be turning out high-priced goods nobody would buy. Yeah, that's the ticket.

You need to stick to things you know, like writing fiction.

Go back and read what you wrote. When you take federal funds from the military and put it into factories that make common household goods, you are socializing industry. That's exactly what you proposed.

Maybe that's why you are a liberal. You don't seem to understand what they are all about, or even what you write.

No, you are carrying out the constitutional requirement to provide for the defense of our country.

When you take over 300 billion dollars (half of the military budget) and use it to make refrigerators and lawnmowers (what you proposed), you are socializing industry.

There's nothing in the Constitution that specifies how much must be
spent on the military.

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.


I completely agree.

To be clear, I'm not against trimming the defense budget. I am against socializing US industry.

Those evil military contractors build the world's best military equipment. If the government opened their own fighter jet factory (or refrigerator factory), we'd have jets and refrigerators that costs twice as much as current ones do and would only work half the time. Think Yugo.
