If half the 2006 DOD budget of $442 billion (not counting $85 billion supplemental) were invested elsewhere (infrastructure, education, subsidies, direct foreign aid) would the rate of return be higher? Has anyone tried to quantify the value of geo-political capital that hegemony provides? Is it worth the investment?
Serious answers only please, take your vitriol elsewhere.

My take on it is that having a minimum wage sets a defacto price for low end labor thus removing the natural self regulating price that a true free market provides. It would be impossble for all of the burger joints and car washes in the country to colude to set the price for labor. If the minimum wage were to be abolished all together, this would actually cause wages to rise because each employer would then have to set the price based on market forces. If the government tells all employers how much to charge for labor then they will simply all charge that rate and not have to pay competative wages.

Nanotechnology has been on the forefront of many peoples minds for years. Scientists, engineers, and nonprofessionals are all working towards a goal of machines that are able to manipulate matter on a molecular or atomic scale. The possibilities are near endless with applications in medicine, construction, and even military. The US federal government has even started to develop laws to guide, limit, and institute the technology even if it may be years from fruition.
How can the common person expect to see a technology that could grind the global economies to a halt? Imagine having the capability to create food, clean water, and shelter from something self-replicating. Money would become meaningless. The people that have the capability to unleash the potential also stand to lose the most from it, how can we expect that to happen?

Don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan. But economically speaking: Do the values generated by Wikipedia get lost because there is no money involved?

In other words, is that money missing from the GDP, whereas if Wikipedia would charge for their services, there would be a corresponding increase in GDP?

I was thinking...the problem with lotteries these days is they are so one-dimensional and uninspirational....

Do you think the U.S. government and perhaps the EU should hold a joint a space lottery to allow an ordinary citizen to go into space rather than just all these billionaires?

I know they are talking about space travel by plane by 2020 etc but it seems to me that a space lottery would fire up world imagination, progress developments in alternative technologies and produce income for the government for eg: environemental research.....
