  2. That defense budget pays a lot of salaries -- CEO salaries, and pays for a lot of elections.

    I remember growing up in S/CAL. how the whole economy lived and died on the MIC and aero-space.

  4. I grew up in Seattle during a time when Boeing controlled the local economy. Talk about a one business town. That was Seattle in the 50's and 60's.
