Conversion creates more useful jobs
Although no public jobs can be created and no bridges repaired as long
as all that money goes for unworkable Rube Goldberg Star Wars systems,
not to mention cost overruns and plain corruption, [President Bill]
Clinton will have to overcome his natural southern affinity for all
things military. Conversion is the name of the only game we have left.
Conversion from war to peace. Instead of Seawolf submarines, he must
build bullet trains (my advice to Jerry Brown, who dramatized it on
television and won the Connecticut primary). The same workforce that
now builds submarines has the same technology to build trains.
