Some guy quoted by Yglesias writes:
Americans have come to believe that spending government revenues on U.S. citizens here at home is usually a bad thing and should be viewed with suspicion, but spending billions on vast social engineering projects overseas is the hallmark of patriotism and should never be questioned.
It really is a strange thing; particularly when seen through the kaleidoscope of the hyper-competitive "global economy" blowhards who, as I wrote
HERE, have completely let nations like China sail by, thanks to some ironically UNpatriotic "patriotism" blind spot. Incroyable.
Funny. The more we spend on defense, the less there is worth defending. Irony, wrapped in wonton.
