The Decline of America: "Standing Tall"


"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired
signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are
not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. The world in arms is not
spending money alone.  It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the
genius of its scientists, the houses of its children."
        --Dwight D. Eisenhower, April 16, 1953
