Try 2011. The country will be broke and that money is needed for social justice and equality.

The sheep keep watching TV which supports the regime. All the networks control 95% of the channels. The networks support you know who, are part of the left and support Islamification which is what they did in the UK.

“Oh but I watch Fox.” Fox is partially owned by the Saudis who are behine the mega mosque being built at Ground Zero in NYC.

It'll be affordable if we actually want to build it. I know some folks working on the F-35, and the reason it has cost problems is because (once again) its electronics and software systems are an order of magnitude more complex than the F-22, which in turn were the most complex we'd ever put in a fighter, etc., etc.

IMHO, the question is whether we should be spending a decade or more on systems engineering for a single multi-role platform or just make multiple, simpler platforms.
