1. It's HERE!!

As for the cartoon, yup, we forgot the lesson of post-WWII, when we were the only country with capital and manufacture. We gave it all away this time.

2. You mean we pissed it all away because generals and war profiteers

wanted a series of endless small wars so they could stay employed and rich. They drained the treasury and let the country rot.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.--Dwight D. Eisenhower
