Yes, the Fed Gov spent $6 trillion last year with only $3 trillion in revenue. Everything needs to be cut.

The good news is a lot could be cut without threatening our security.

Planes that cost $1 billion and carriers that cost $10 billion are bad investments. In a real war we will will never use them. Assets like that cannot be deployed to any theatre they have a risk of being lost.

Never mind “gender-confirming” Frankenstein (or Frank-N-Furter?) surgeries and their cost(s).

“Planes that cost $1 billion and carriers that cost $10 billion are bad investments.”

Hate to see people using numbers put out by Leftists, but I guess they control the narrative, so we might as well get used to seeing it here.

Bottom Line: Yes, if you include development costs and only build 21 bombers, then yes, they will cost $1B each. But the REAL QUESTION is why even bother developing new planes if we’re not going to produce them? Similar for carriers, build one at a time, over 10 years, and yes, it will ‘seem’ to cost a lot of money. Build 6 at once and see what happens to the per-carrier price.
