How America is Dependent on Continuing Wars the Enormous Profits going to the Few leaving no money for Schools, Medical, Housing for the Poor and Disasters like Katrina |
As pejorative terms, the "MIC" or the "iron triangle" refer to an
institutionalised collusion among defense contractors (industry), The
Pentagon (military), and the United States government (Congress,
Executive branch), as a cartel that works against the public interest,
whose motivation is profiteering.
The term military-industrial complex (MIC) refers to a close and
symbiotic relationship between a nation's armed forces, its arms
industry, and associated political and commercial interests. In such a
system, the military is dependent on industry to supply materiel and
other support, while the defense industry depends on government for a
steady revenue stream. The term is most often used in reference to the
United States, where it was coined in a speech by President Dwight
Eisenhower.

trillions of dollars the US government is in debt for.
