      You’re laying out the exact same trickle down bullshit. Oh joy, more jobs making killing machines! Are you unaware of the disparity between executive pay and regular worker pay? Again, most of the money goes to the executives anyway. Still, if you want to make this argument: why doesn’t the government simply invest in manufacturing things other than killing machines?

        I literally acknowledge this disparity in one of my bullets.

        The US government subsidies many industries and makes internal purchases from a lot more industries.

        Do you believe FEMA makes all their shit? Because they don’t. They buy it.
