:roll: I always have to roll my eyes when people talk about Eisenhower’s military industrial complex. They defense budget now is less than half what it was then (as a % of GDP)
Then that gave Eisenhower all the more reason to decry the military-industrial complex, didn't it? Or do you not know that the president cannot simply snap his fingers and change the federal budget to fit his whim?
