What you mean about the "military-industrial complex and what Eisenhower meant regarding the mil-ind-cmplx are two different interpretations. You'd have voted for Stevenson anyway.

"The collateral damage of building the implements of war is that some of them will be used."
Disarmament is the failed policy of the post WWI League of Nations. How did THAT work out for the world 20 years later? If one desires peace, one must prepare for war.

@crademan,
"Is the real issue about securing borders against enemies or about which political party will gain more voters in the next Presidential election?"
More voters, for local, state and national elections. "Path-to-Citizenship" is wider than just the road to White house. Those who make "humanitarian" claims are duplicitous. From both parties.

"In Quebec, electricity is from hydro..."
And the mercury that is subsequently leaching into the lake behind the dam is poisoning the fresh water fish downstream of the dams. Canadian, "First Nation", peoples are advised not to fish downstream of these Quebec hydro-dams due to the mercury polluted fish.

@Rich W,
"The Fed should probably start thinking about a rate hike. Yes, a surprise rate hike, I wonder what that would do."
Good things I think! These way-to-low interest rates (<0.25%) are actually a drag on the economy and not at all a support because the velocity of money has slowed to a crawl. Ben is fighting his granpa's Great Depression, that was money poor and with mis-applied Keynesian theories, than effectively fighting this 21st. Century's well-moneyed, Great Recession.

@mc2406,
"Any time they start using gobblygook phrases like the above "disintermediation, etc" I get real worried. "
Me too. The deliberate abuse of language for the purpose of obfuscating both the immoral and/or the illegal is one of the plagues of mankind. (I hope that's not offensive).

Nah! I've read 'em and find it to be the ravings of an egotistical lunatic. Today, Butler would be a solar power salesman. Or Jon Corzine.
