Industry Of Fear

Commentator Jesse Jackson identifies what he calls the latest budding American market – the industry of fear:
“Like last decade’s prison-industrial complex, we’re now watching another new industry spring up: the industry of fear.” And, it’s the constant talk of war and varying code alerts that keep it growing, leading to gas prices going up, airlines folding and state deficits getting larger. Jackson says it’s the U.S. public that will have to bear the cost of this industry. “When nations move toward empire,” states Jackson, “democracy pays the price.”
