  1. ​ @RyanMcBethProgramming if boiling it down to a single metric is the best way of comparing budgets then the same should be said about the debt to GDP ratio. If there is no Military Industrial Complex then what does RTX (Ratheon) manufacture which would keep the company afloat should they lose their military contracts and downsize accordingly? Just breaking even is meaningless if you pay your staff and suppliers exorbitant amounts - when there is no competitor this is what happens. My proof? Space X versus Boeing. Both companies were contracted by NASA to develop a crew capsule for transporting astronauts, only one of them has a fully functional product, delivered faster and cheaper. How does a brand new startup without the decades of experience and aviation products that Boeing does manage to not only match but out compete in every meaningful metric - time, cost, quality? You know what also changed in the 1990's? The leadership of Boeing following the merger with it's direct competitor McDonnell-Douglas. 35 trillion and rising... if the US was a citizen seeking a home loan no bank would approve one, even a loan shark would be hesitant given recent history.
