Just think, that $160 billion is only a small fraction of the $787 billion Porkulus Maximus bill, and actually WOULD have created good paying jobs in the US. (Due to ITAR export controls, foreign nationals would not have been permitted to work on projects like this, so US citizens would be the primary beneficiaries).
Instead we got 30 years worth of Democrat pent-up wet dream pork all in one shot. Crap that never would have seen the light of day, much less 3/4 a trillion of non-existent dollars in normal times.
Yep, elections have consequences. And a crisis is a terrible thing to waste.
The FCS was an enormous waste of money because the vehicles were too lightly armored.
Unlike the FCS, the F-22 however is worth every penny. It would have made more sense to cancel the FCS and used the money to build more F-22s.
