Politicians have always been bought and sold. The propaganda machine has always existed and has only worsened with the advent of the 24 hour cable news cycle. As Eisenhower stated many years ago: "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist."
Trillions of dollars have been spent on wars in the last fourteen years. Those who have been the recipients of most of that money have enormous amount of influence and they don't want the gravy train derailed. Doing what is necessary to keep the money flowing to them is happening. That is reality. And except for the purchases from Alcoa, it has nothing to do with tin-foil.
