Completely agree with the above and I'd say they are two sides of the same coin. Excessive entitlement programs benefit the lowest echelon, while excessive defense spending is essentially a windfall for the elite. Of course, i'm factoring in our defense policy as a whole, not just ridiculously priced jets. Who doesn't benefit from either? The middle class! Yay for working, legally, for a living! Woohoo...etc.
