During my career in manufacturing consulting I have on occasion worked
with people doing business with some branch of the nuclear power industry. I
understand the way that the government can almost totally control the
manufacturing process in that instance. The requirements in other cases
where manufacturing is selling to the government are also rather heavy.
However given that many of us remember the fight against the fascists &
nazis and regard those terms as carrying an extremely heavy emotional load;
don't you think that calling the entire U. S. economy fascist because some
fraction of probably one percent of the entire economy voluntarily does
business with the U. S. government rather extreme?
