We spend billions on our military still designed to fight the Cold War. Much of this is a waste - military/industrial welfare. A good amount of this money should be redirected to supporting (pay their tuition and provide a stipend) talented kids going into advanced computer/software design plus engineering and then offer good money to get them to work for DOD, CIA and NSA...behind consoles where the next war will be fought. Of course that means some companies and workers will have to accept losses....think of them as lazy government workers (though they are privately employed - but, paid via government contracts)...if that makes it seem more palatable.
