expensive? they are not really that expensive. The new 747 cost more.
We could of bought 75,000 F-22 at the 'high price' with the amount we spent last year in new money alone (including what the feds dumped into the dollar not including what the world dumped into the dollar.)

Good points about keeping costs in perspective.

But that would have went to line guys who are highly skilled mechanics and engineers, many who made their way in life on their own. Not SEIU dupes that are owed and these guys do not need new structures of re-distributors that shuffle paper and create nothing.

These F22 guys and gals actual produce a good and service, a highly value added one to boot....

Remember they hate the producers, look at the kids of these types no doctors, or engineers. Chelsea Clinton didn't take engineering, she is a rain maker for a Hedge Fund. I rest my case, she produces nothing, other than trying to make a quick buck.
