"For more than a 1/3 of a century, assertions that the Soviet superiority created calls for the US to 're-arm'. In the 1980's, the call was heeded so thoroughly that the US embarked on a $trillion defense buildup. As a result, the country neglected it's schools, cities, roads & bridges and health care system. From the world's greatest creditor nation, the US became the world's greatest debtor" Anne Hessing Cahn 1993
