Hear, hear!! The Mumbai junket is beyond excess. Where are the checks and balances to control this??
yeah, it isn’t perfect. I think the bottom line is that we need to start thinking as investors. If we invest 100 million dollars into something/anything, we need to get, at a minimum, 100 million dollars back out of it one way or the other and, preferably, more. That’s especially true with regards to military tech. too. We can’t build million dollar missiles to destroy a hundred thousand dollars worth of enemy assets. That’s a simplification of course but you know what I mean. We need a hundred thousand dollar weapon that destroys a million dollars worth of enemy assets. Look at the RPG as an example of what I’m talking about. it’s probably the single most effective weapon on the modern battlefield and it’s 50 years old. One warhead probably costs a thousand bucks and it can destroy a multi million dollar BFV and crew with one shot. that’s the kind of thing that makes wars unsustainable for us.
“Matter of fact, I haven’t heard any mention of his 2-Billion $$$ trip at all—almost like it’s a taboo subject, huh??? Shhhh....”
Tell me just how you found out. I promise not to tell another soul.
“As some day it may be that a reduction must be found,
I’ve got a little list — I’ve got a little list
Of Constitutional offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!”
