However, the government provides every incentive for defense companies to severely overcharge. The reason they get away with it is because that spending does create high-quality jobs, so state governments are willing to spend federal money to prop up defense jobs in their own states. | ||

The US needs to stop buying stupidly expensive technology that is worth 10% of what it actually costs. Cut out the incentives that make it that way and it will allow huge cost savings, and even will allow the military to be expanded in the right ways if it needs to be done. Its inefficient because the tech level is so high. Its diminishing returns and we have long past the point where increases in technology can be done in a cost efficient manner, | ||

It's been a staple of their economics for 50 years. If 20% of China's exports are to US, I think they can have some influence - as well as if the US can convince some of the EU groups to not stand up for this. | ||
