The defense industry is already “nationalized” â but the taxpayers bear the entire cost burden, with no dividend (not that you’d want it) from the hundreds of billions looted each year.As for innovation, why not? NASA can land robots on Mars with not-for-profit programs. America helped “win” two world wars with public defense programs. How have things gone since the Pentagon was hijacked by the likes of General Dynamics (formerly chaired by Chicago’s own “person above suspicion,” Lester Crown), Halliburton and Blackwater?The fact that our military outspends the rest of the world combined doesn’t say as much about our superior capabilities as our superior ability to suck our thumbs while Wall Street and the defense cartel flushes public money down the toilet.
