Na 1953 speech, president dwight eisenhower listed some things that cost about as much as “one modern heavy-duty bomber”: a modern urban school, a couple of power plants or hospitals, or 50 miles of highway. what points was he trying to make?

They need to invest in infrastructure and society rather than war.

Explanation:

He was trying to expose to the public how much was defense costing the country and how would that be reflected if the expenses in defense and military that the American government was doing would be re-located to other branches of the governments duties, like schools, hospitals, transport and by doing this he wanted to shift the public opinion from a war supporting society to a society that wanted to invest in science, education, culture, transport and things that would be more benefical for the americans than military and weaponery.

the correct order is:

you're your own worst enemy:

they're going to say what they say, but

their opinions aren't holding you

back. it's your self-defeatist

attitude that's keeping your work

from getting its due.
