Ike's famous speech, warning about the growth of the "military- industrial complex" has an interesting footnote.  Ike's first draft described the "military- industrial- congressional" complex. However, diplomat that he was, Ike edited the new term and removed the word, congressional, lest he offend those who were at the heart of the problem, but key to its solution.

2. Have some cash on hand, for opportunities that arise.
