Richard M. Ebeling's piece titled, "Ludwig von Mises on Reducing the Size and Scope of Government", in the August 2025 edition of Future of Freedom, cites Felix Morley stating:
"so long as people believe that the national security is menaced by a foreign power which seems to make such outlay necessary. And as Americans are not naturally a belligerent people, a constant propaganda must be exercised to make it appear that the potential foe is the personification of evil, and a dire threat to everything that we traditionally hold dear.... It is impossible to spend a hundred million a day on defense without picturing a perfect enemy".
What I find interesting is Morely's words above were written in 1957, yet appear more than applicable to the USA in 2025.
