Hey, the US military is a jobs program as well as a defense program. If different jobs programs (like a public health care system) can do better at improving &/or protecting American's lives, we should give those a shot.
We need to take the government off auto-pilot & find what new programs we can benefit from today.
Porter and Mykleby write that "for too long, we have underutilized sectors of our government and our citizenry writ large, focusing intensely on defense and protectionism rather than on development and diplomacy." Strange words coming from the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
