Let’s see with this order and the defunding of the Endowment of the Arts, and PBS, Trump has saved us 1 trillion dollars.

Factor in, as well, the savings from shrinking the gov't workforce. It's time to divert some funding towards the replacement of the B 52 bombers, built between 1952-62 and still in service!! Turns out, the Air Force projects their continued use into the 2040s! This is testimony to the quality of construction from Boeing Corp.

How on God’s Green Earth Is the B-52 Still in Service?

If you read the “Old Dog” series from Dale Brown (speculative military fiction), you begin to see what a modernized B-52 could do. And yes, a huge aerial platform like the Buff is still relevant today.
