Do you think the M-IC would support someone who would put them in the red? Clinton will not change a thing!


The US arms industry is backing Hillary Clinton for President and has all but abandoned its traditional allies in the Republican party. Mrs Clinton has also emerged as Wall Street's favourite. Investment bankers have opened their wallets in unprecedented numbers for the New York senator over the past three months and, in the process, dumped their earlier favourite, Barack Obama.

Mrs Clinton's wooing of the defence industry is all the more remarkable given the frosty relations between Bill Clinton and the military during his presidency. An analysis of campaign contributions shows senior defence industry employees are pouring money into her war chest in the belief that their generosity will be repaid many times over with future defence contracts.

Future defence contracts are going to be a boom despite who gets elected. One of the military's biggest problems is equipment and military hardware. It will take years to catch up.

I guess that means that the industry has nothing to worry about if Clinton is elected. They found another friend, someone who will make sure that conflicts continue so profit continues.

I don't see them having any problems if we continue to police the world. With the cold war coming back I look for even more defense spending.

Oh yeah! And just how lucky can they get?

If I was playing the stock market I'd be buying some shares of defense contractor's. that will be one of the fastest growing industries if we continue to police the world.
