How does the military-industrial-congressional complex relate to the idea of “two Congresses”?
What will be an ideal response?
Business firms, labor unions, and local communities seek a variety of federal funds for various military-related expenditures. These include contracts, military bases, and other projects. Lawmakers can provide distributive benefits to their constituents for earmarking these funds for local projects that benefit their constituents and may help their reelection bids. On the other hand, as an institution this approach of doling out contracts and funds may not be the most efficient. This can make it very difficult to cut even very expensive and ineffective programs.
