It's good to consider critically. I doubt if the sort of cost growth associated with weapon system programs with ambitious technological goals will be seen here. Speaking of defense, the truly radical ( in our lifetimes) part is spending on this level not for military purposes, but for direct civilian benefit. Defense spending was often justified in part by it's domestic economic benefit, we should get a lot more bang for the buck in that respect here.

It is high time to reverse decades of increasing austerity in domestic spending. The Reagan dictum that 'government is the problem' is basically a lie, serving the money-hoarding class.
