Even with the security and communication gadgets these things need that price seems excessive.

A B2, designed to stealthy penetrate hostile air environments and precision strike targets, costs around $929 million each. This price is double that per plane. Something does not pass the smell test here.

In the 70’s there was a huge so-called scandal because hammers and toilet seats were being bought for $100 or more. It has always been my belief that the hammers cost about $3.00 but missiles cost millions - and that was the way the money was provided.

I know that we are currently talking about the 0bama administration where nothing he says isn’t a lie. Yet, I don’t know if the boy king has anything to do with Boeing defense contractors.

Of course, I will stand with whatever Trump decides. If the Secret Service really needs something - they will get it.

If I was C-I-C a B-1 or B-2 would be my AF-1.

Actually, all-in the B2 cost $2.1B in 1997 dollars.

Add in inflation and the fact that the development and procurement costs were spread over 21 planes instead of 2 and it isn't even close.
