About agriculture for one.. if I remember correctly. Look at ethanol for example.
I am glad to see that someone is trying to present the truth: the military-industrial complex was JUST ONE OF SEVERAL "DANGERS" President Eisenhower warned us about.
Far more important than that worn-out warning is "[government must] avoid the impulse to live only for today" warning to beware the liberal OPM addicts.
Actually, you have to read Ike’s full quote on the military/industrial complex. The libs only quote part of it — as usual — picking only the words that support their narrative:
“This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”
