Next ridiculous objection?
LOL!
Oh, really? It's that simple?
And the Coast Guard will magically build up its fleet in zero time (never mind that there aren't enough shipyard slips for WMEC/WHEC construction), as well as train up hundreds of thousands of Coastguardsmen to crew those new ships...
And all for only $79 billion.
Next ridiculous objection?
Yeah, where are you going to come up with the REST of the money the Coast Guard would need?
Be careful, the U.S. Coast Guard is a "Politically Correct" organization.
