Well, if given a choice between feeding, clothing, and sheltering our own elderly, disabled, and children, or building $300,000,000 per copy aircraft that we don't need, I would choose the former, but I know that upsets the Right, General Dynamics, Boeing, the military, and the Electric Boat Company, so I guess that we will just go on building 3 hundred million dollar aircraft, which, BTW have a life expectancy of about 15 to 20 years, max.
Too bad for you that isn't the choice you will be given.
At some point, we wont' be able to fund all the social programs that are growing unsustainably.
YOu can cut the military to the point that it guarantees a war, and we still won't be able to.
