The Military-Industrial Squeeze
 
 
espite the rosy talk of surpluses, there is simply not enough money available to the federal government to fund all the programs on its wish lists. Budget gimmickry is a sophisticated art on Capitol Hill these days, but hiding every excess as an “emergency measure” won’t work forever. In the years to follow, Americans will be forced by fiscal reality to make hard decisions about acceptable levels of military spending versus investments and spending in non-military areas like social security, education, housing and healthcare.
