Considering militry Keynesianism and the politics that are involved in military base closures, discuss the efficiency of the decision making process (not the end result) that is used when Congress considers closing military bases. Be sure to include basic economic principles that came into play when Ft. Carson in colorado Springs and other bases came under consideration.

Answer 1

I would think that closing some military bases, and moving such operations to other bases, improves the overall efficiency of government spending on military. (Takes advantage of economies of scale, etc.) However closing a base can clobber the local economy.

Answer 2

How would it effect the economy though? Would the actual process (not the end result) be efficent?
