Hey, maybe it's because US builds weapons with it's taxes as opposed to networks! :P |

| I mean it seems to make sense.
While Asia's economy is skyrocketing especially all the tech companies, in the USA it's the defense industry that has been reaping big gains these few years. |

According to CBO numbers twice amount is spent on Medicare and Social Security combined and is only 19% of 2006 budget outlay is dedicated to defense. I you look at defence spending to GDP the percentage is even less. |

Well, I think the good thing is that if we ever achieve peace, then those secrets will roll out into the public (nanotech, bio/med tech, robotics, etc.) and US will once again be in the cutting edge....just like the digital revolution of the past. But until then, you'd be a fool to not think that a HUGE amount of your money is going into the most creative ways...to cause destruction!  |
