Milton Friedman, the staunch defender of neo-conservatism will be happy to know that not only has ideology completely backfired in stabilizing the fake economy, it also has failed miserably at ensuring that money is spent effectively. Compared to the WW2 ratio of 6:1, the ratio of civilian contractors to armed service men in Iraq was 1 to 1; that is 179,000 private contractors were working alongside brainwashed troops in Iraq, for companies such as Halliburton and Blackwater.

Sergeants in the US army earn about 200 a day while Private Blackwater mercenaries who were also on the taxpayers payroll earned upwards of 1200 a day. Popular Mechanics claims that the mercenaries are not used for offensive purposes, just security (and of course dressing up like Arabs and catalyzing regional conflicts… and that too). The theory of privatization is expected to continue to suggest that illegal wars fought at the expense of tax payers, are more economically viable when everything is privatized. Clearly this is here nor there because having a debate over financially lucrative ways to dominate the world only somewhat inadvertently suggests the flawed conclusion that the world should be dominated in the first place.
