A cut in weapons like the F-22 jet fighter will also cut jobs. But that's not really the point.

no it isnt the point

We can't afford F-22s! We have to have PROGRAMS to give medical care to the poor and the illegals. And we have to pay for the chillin's edumakashun and Nancy needs a new Airplane.

What pre-emptive strike? Under Obama’s watch? Against his BROTHERS in Allah (AKA - Satan)?

Pretty evident why we need to completely cut F-22 and any further weapons procurement. Obama is going to hand over they keys to the nation...

Wouldn’t we rely more on cruise missiles and drones?

Folks —

Do the math.

A few B-2s can deliver the payload/throw weight of ALL the F-22s put together.

Not to diss the F-22; just keep in mind we have the required first strike platforms already.

I disagree with the premise introduced in the headline. A single B-2 can carry 16 nuclear weapons.
