Envy? Maybe!

However the USA's position is a false one. Why? Because the US is a military
driven economy. Take away the military/space budget and alot of jobs and R&D
would not have happened. The integrated circuit and the internet  are
classic examples.


Why is Mr. President driving on with the SOSW system? Because it will cost
tens of $billions, sustaining the economy. If the USA ever runs out of
potential threats... well that will never happen, because it will always
need to think of some reason to spend the money on.
