China, Pakistan planning to invade India: Indian politician

[jbond197]

please read what gubi said

What it has to do with what i posted? this was the post by BB

NO -- a campaign to get more tax payer dollars to buy more weapons.

and I replied back that he is not a defense minister so why will he bother campaigning to buy more weapons.. Now your reply to me is out of place.

To save jobs!

heh I was joking, but his logic comes from a common economic fallacy and one that was prevalent in communist ideology.

This is the point of the apocryphal story of an engineer who, while visiting China, came across a large crew of men building a dam with picks and hovels. When the engineer pointed out to the supervisor that the job could be completed in a few days, rather than many months, if the men were given motorized earthmoving equipment, the supervisor said that such equipment would destroy many jobs. “Oh,” the engineer responded, “I thought you were interested in building a dam. If it’s more jobs you want, why don’t you have your men use spoons instead of shovels.”

Not sure if it is a true story but the point is clear enough.

He must be getting kickbacks from some defense contractor.

Really, India needs more people like him. Great nationalists that stand up to aggression from certain vocal neighbors. If he'd ink more deals to buy even more military hardware, that'd be great! Maybe even cut some useless social spending and food subsidies.

This was also prevalent in the US, where Roosevelt essentially had people digging holes and reburying them in the middle of the desert to increase GDP.

However, it is not without logic. China does not have industrialized farming for this reason: to keep enough farmers employed so they do not all flood the cities. Of course other reasons exist such as small private plots over western style industrial farms and land concentrations being regulated by the government.

Ahhh but that is for a reason other than economics.
