Here is the Salamander framework.
1. DOD estimates are way too optimistic and unrealistic.
2. The market force for the Welfare State is much stronger than the Military Industrial Complex.
3. The larger economic issues we will see over the next two decades in the 2nd and 3rd order effects from the Weimar debt policies of the last decade will put even more pressures on our DOD budgets.
4. Without steady and consistent civilian leaders over the next decade, efficiencies will not be found in a smart way.
Here is the slide I would like for you all to ponder.
Hat tip Lee.
