Reply #34: Bullshit, our economic dominance is due to our military. [View All]

Four hundred billion dollars pumped annually into our economy by the DD.
My area of the country (seattle) would lose one of its biggest businesses if it weren't for that defense spending. The loss of Boeing, some feel, would destroy this region's economy. Boeing couldn't survive without defense contracts.

Whenever US poor people...er...soldiers go to battle for unnamed "US interests" they go to die and kill for US corporations, no more no less. They fight and die for our economy. It ain't even our real economy these days, it's the stock market.

Wonderful. Our economy will be outstripped by China and the EU in the next decade or so...unless we can control the world capital of OIL. That is what they mean when they say US dominance. Have fun supporting that policy.
