By Bill Van Auken, May 22, 2017
Much in Trump’s half-hour address echoed the speech delivered by Barack Obama in Cairo eight years earlier.

When all other sources of economic growth appear tapped out, there is always the military-industrial complex coming to the rescue of US GDP with the sale of arms and equipment to the world’s biggest purchaser of weapons: Saudi Arabia.
