one of the most prominent isolationists were senator burton wheeler of montana who was otherwise onef fdr's closer supporters on -- and most southern democrats tended to be less interventionist and so on. so it wasn't, it was hardly a republican even though the republican party at that time was predominantly isolationist, it was a bipartisan sentiment and reflected in the neutrality acts which were a consequence of legislation in the mid 1930s that came out of, utterly, democratic-dominated senate which reflected that, that point of view, but also was once again reflected, i think, the predominant views of most americans on the subject, um, effectively tied fdr's hands from, in any sense, intervening and showing favortism in helping people that we liked in the hostile act against people of whom we disapproved. by 1937 i think franklin roosevelt was one of the few political leaders in the democratic world, small d democratic world, global democratic world who perceived the genuine threat that came from the fascists in europe. and in 1937 he went to chicago to the dedication of a bridg

of that went to the wars but the question is what happened to the other half that's what winslow wheeler and other people who are not liberals are? where did the other trillion go and the reason they're asking when you look at the state of things and you see the combat air fleet is weighed down by 51% when -- down by 43% 53% budget increase. how can that be with the number of battleships in the navy be down 53% and the army is up but the budget is up substantially. how could this be? where is the money going and the institutions, the one can't department that's not subject to audit. it's explicitly exempt from audit. it's not to say they failed from audit. we don't have contractors who were paid once, twice or not at all. nobody notices. but we're sort of told well, you can't mention that and that means you hate americans, no, no. it would be like the most important thing to look at. and then moreover there are -- there have been economic consequences of all this. and one of the points i make is there are certain incentives that a private firm faces on the free market. those incentives,
