    The education system has a much higher overall ROI, but it’s unfortunately spread across all of society and takes a generation to actually pay out.

    By contrast, putting money into the Military Industrial Congressional Complex pays off consistently, predictably, and in a manner that channels the returns straight back into the investors’ accounts.

    It’s just simple economics.
