re: #571 Talking Point Detective

I would guess that as far as industries go, overall, military spending is not particularly good at returning jobs. It would be interesting to see some kind of breakdown that way.

I’ve seen thing like that. They exist but are all over the place in terms of numbers. The question is just how far out you go with the tendrils of connections. All the way out to the farmers that grow the food for the MRES or mess halls? How about farther…to the suppliers and manufacturers that sell to the farmers? How about farther then that- to the suppliers that supply the suppliers of the farmers.
