Re-Issue Republican President Eisenhower's 1959 speech to The American People warning of Military Industrial Complex

Created by M.C. on September 22, 2013

Our former Republican President and the arguably foremost military industrial complex expert of the time, Dwight Eisenhower, warned The People about the impending dangers to this great country of not reining in the 'growth industry' we know as our Military Industrial Complex, which includes corporate entities such as, The BOEING Company, Halliburton, Lockeed, et al. These mega-corporations are responsible for the diversion of our citizens personal taxes from critical infrastructure funding, (such as crumbling highways, roads, bridges, schools) and other basic social program support funding (such as Social Security, Medicare) and Public Education funding) due to their longterm influence swinging the pendulum from defense necessity to stock price appreciation for investors.
