One of the major ways Congresspeople can bring pork home for their districts is defense contracts of various shapes and sizes, this generates institutional pressure to use those items so there's always work. There's basically one foreign policy in Washington and its hawkish as gently caress and its telling that Obama was successful as he was in resisting it.

Yeah it's basically a Government jobs program especially for lovely red state rural areas. If it wasn't for a military base in the middle of nowhere many rural counties would pretty much have no jobs.

Smedley Butler posted:I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902–1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

America also collapsed immediately in an uprising from four thousand Continental Army soldiers, because our government didn't want to give them their back pay.
