WOW!! $100 Billion!!

just imagine how many state-of-the-art Aircraft Carriers, F-22 Raptors and other critically important millitary investments could be purchased with that sort of money!!

Instead, they are just gonna piss it off on stupid thing like teachers unions, gay propoganda, etc which has absolutely nothing and has shown NOTHING in advancing education for the kids :-( :-(

The next class is estimated to run $13 billion per copy. GAO said this year Raptors are around $200 million each.

For $100 billion you could get 4 next generation carriers and around 240 F-22s, almost enough to fully stock those four carriers.
