Ooooo...pencil-pushers, lawyers, H1B visa immigrant-filled jobs. One manufacturing job that can be converted to war production has more national worth than 10 of the above jobs. Assuming most of the increase isn't in temp jobs.
Are you REALLY suggesting that all of those "blue-collar" workers who sent their kids to college to enable those kids to get "white-collar" jobs were WRONG?
If so, I gather you don't have much faith in the American Dream.
And would you please state just how many new battleships it will take to keep every single drugged-up loser from detonating himself on a commuter bus?
I'd rather not gear up to fight a 1950's style war in the 21st Century.
But you are free to disagree.
