As i have said before, i have no problem with upgrading technology, as long as there are no more bombs built. AKA replacing old technology. I am full on in favor of scrapping most of our nukes, it is redundant to have them, not to mention to pay for their upkeep. But i agree full nuclear disarmerment is a great idea, but not plausable. That would be like disarming the military and police. The quasi good will generally follow the rules, but the bad, never will...

There would still be plenty of funding for Defense contractors even if new nukes werent built. There is a laudry list of new technologies being developed that have nothing to do with nuclear bombs...

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

I wonder how it is voters willingly support this sort of program?

"Of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

it would be naive to say that money doesnt effect the presidency, we have had zero poor/middle class pres. But to state that Conservative lobbiest have more power than liberal lobbiest is also naive. If the defense contractors are so powerful why did clinton get in? That guy slashed the military budget...
