			<description><![CDATA[Bingo! Fascinating that we can't even discuss in public the MIC cutting its budget minor paltry sums in ten years, whilst we quietly shun the very real and actual discussion of the MIC actually "losing" $1,200,000,000,00 0 in ten years!!! The MIC could shave off 50% of its budget, and STILL, "lose" HALF of it anyway. Disgusting death cult(ure) and mafiosa leadership is spot on!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Let us not forget that Rumsfeld on September 10, 2001 gave a speech stating that the DOD in the previous decade had lost, could not account for, had no idea where ONE TRILLION TWO HUNDRED BILLION dollars had gone to. The present administration has found a similar missing chunk of our treasury dissapated into oblivion without record... That drum has got to be taiko drummed until it becomes part of the public dialogue!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The Military Industrial Complex - come on you people let's concentrate on what's important for Amerika like God's plan for no contraception. You guys need as many children as possible - they are going to be needed as cannon fodder for Amerika's future wars and as factory slaves for the likes of foreign companies for example Caterpillar & IKEA who hate unionised work forces in their own countries and will open sweatshops in the U.S.A. Please wake up my American cousins - before it's too late.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Many people, probably many RSN readers included, thought they were voting in 2008 for candidates (and one in particular) who would liberate the United States and all of planet Earth from the oppression of the MIC. How sadly mistaken they were (no, I did not vote for the 2009 Nobel Peace laureate, suspecting at the time of the election that his real agenda did not include shifting the United States away from addiction to war and violence). I was disappointed, of course, but not surprised. Instead of "Never vote Republican", I propose the slogan of "Never vote war-mongering plutocrat". They are not necessarily one and the same. Winding down the overgrown American military and its incursions into other nations has to be the top priority. After that, there are so many other issued that deserve prompt attention: alternative energy, affordable medical care, accessible and affordable education, infrastructure updates, environmental protection, but none of these can be dealt with effectively as long as we are bearing the ethical and financial burden of unbridled militarism. History buffs take note: read the views of Americans on pre-World War I Germany and compare them with what you see happening in America today.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Top Secret America by Dana Priest and William Arkin is a great read and right on target with this article. 17 Intellegent organizations? And they can not "talk" to each other because each it Top Seceret. They all have the same source and are falling all over each other with redundency. But their budget is incalcuable. Anyone else think this behavior smacks if pure insanity? But all this is supposed to keep "the American People" secure. LOL]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Kennedy wanted to make significant changes to the military and the CIA to limit and control their power -- and he was murdered for it. That tells us the lengths the military will go to to preserve it's power and perpetually ratchet up it's budget. All the more reason to name this and stop it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The writer, as much as Ike, seems to have put the cart before the horse. What is it that necessitates the growth of the Military Industrial Complex? the MIC does not grow without a basis just for the heck of it. It is the direct result of the country's foreign policy, which is dominated by jingoism. If only the people of the country listens to Ron Paul America will be able to redeedm its national debt and balance its budget in due course. Mohanraj.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[For all the "defense" expenditures the US doesn't seem to be able to win a war unless the so called enemy is a small third world country like Grenada. Anything larger and it always ends up being a stalemate. Don't you think if the US really just funded defense and left violent attacks and occupations to others, the US and the world would be a much better place?]]></description>
