[QUOTE="steelfrog, post: 3071422, member: 416"] In his defense, he is but one of many complicit in that industry. Remember obama when he was running for his first term, one of the principal planks in his platform was ending the war, bringing everyone home. Then he gets into office and discovers, THEY are not going to allow that. And so he surged instead. No wonder his pre-Pres net worth of $1.3mm surged to $200mm+ today. Of course he's not alone among politicians in having that happen. By all accounts Trumps net worth went down by about a billion, but the last Prez before him to not make significant money while in office was Harry Truman. Eisenhower famously warned about the military industrial complex growing too big for its britches. What he didn't warn about was every other damn phase of the federal government doing the same thing. Metastasizing like a cancer, feeding on the corpse that is US. [/QUOTE]
