It is sad that in the world of multi-national corporations with leaders who subscribe to the philosophy of “greed is good” and who show no loyalty to our homeland that the lessons of the Great Generation in WW II may have been lost. There is certainly little altruism apparent in the military-indurtrial complex today, including the international bankers. I think Eisenhower sensed that this was a danger greater than the cold war threat. He warned the nation in his farewell address, “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” We are now reaping the harvest of failure to heed the warning.

American parents once dreamed
Prosperity would ever grow
As did the kids, and so it seemed
The better life was all we’d know.
But then we let big government
Grow into selfish bully brats.
Worse than socialism, we went
To being conned by bureaucrats,
Who only care about the now,
And playing at the power game.
It’s really no mystery how
To such a sad state we became.

American prosperity -
A true national tragedy.
