None of this post has anything specifically about defense contractors, making it more intelligent than your original post.
What you've written in this post is common knowledge, what you wrote in your first post is idiocy.

DOD is a major part of that 80bil. DOD is 20% of the Fed budget. Defense contractors (the largest ones) had on average 16% growth in profit in 2010 vs. previous a year, a long trend. Their profits have grown 260% since 2001.
Most of the wealth created in DC over the past 10 years has been in defense contracting.
You haven't posted a single source or article to back up what I think you're saying. This is GFY, I know, but ask any currently serving soldier and they'll give you an earful about defense contractors. Anyway, my post was largely drawn from the article I cited and the rest was drawn straight from real life backed up by readily available data. It was neither a rant, nor was it in any way idiotic.
I read that article, and juxtaposed with the current environment found the displays of wealth by those feeding off the anemic economy to be offensive.
The world is my office, so I'm here 24/7.
