What's a US President recently slammed in the mid term elections and in need of some economic recovery to do? Hit the road and visit prospective customers of course. So President Obama is off to India laying the ground work for Boeing, GE and other US military contractors to reap the rewards of India's economic growth and insecurities.
Surely, our Nobel Peace Prize winning president should have seen this moment coming and should have made a greater attempt to preempt it with a war on energy to supplement its economic impact. Weighing on our economy long before the housing crisis and why the Bush Administration was so eager to wage war around the world.
Making weapons of war is our national industrial policy and Americans have been indoctrinated to forget the fiscal, never mind moral, weight that our country bears as a result.
But what else can a president do when your economies biggest companies can no longer survive on the largess of the two wars of the last administration.
