Forget Eisenhower's warning about the military-industrial complex. The university-bureaucrat complex has been screwing with this country for 30+ years.
Educated antillectuals (mandarins, products of bureacracy/school complex) have been ruling China for 2000+ years, with short interruptions. Sometimes they were successful in running a reasonably peaceful and more or less prosperous society, at other times not. Nothing new to see there, move along.
