     Welfare for Weapons Dealers    
 
 
xports of American weapons are often praised for creating corporate profits and sustaining high-tech jobs. But export deals cost American taxpayers billions of dollars per year. Sales to foreign governments are heavily subsidized by U.S. taxpayers, and at the same time they are used to rationalize expensive "next-generation" weapons for the U.S. military.
