And it is a large percentage of the economy that does so in these Benighted States in this Year of our Follies, 2007. From the tank manufacturer to the tank operator; from the shareholder in the tank manufactory to that shareholder's barber and chauffeur. We must therefore convert our entire economy from a warfare basis to a peacefare basis. The old economist's dialectic of "guns and butter" needs to be replaced. How about "bread, butter, and universal health care"? If these were the decisions we had to agonize over, what a wonderful world it would be.
