Wasteful war spending update. F-15 jet worth $87-100 million crashes in Kuwait

[Nuthin' Fancy]

So, you want government to take care of your needs? Sounds very conservative….

No, it sounds exactly like the people who CLAIM to be conservative.

With the money wasted on this one plane only, this is how many kids’ daycare could have been paid for a whole year.

Daycare for a Year vs. One F-15E
The average annual cost of full-time daycare in the U.S. is approximately $11,000–$12,000 per child (national average across all care types and ages).
The Math:


|Scenario |Kids Covered |
|---------------------------------|-------------------|
|At $11,000/year |~7,900 children|
|At $12,000/year |~7,250 children|
|At $15,000/year (infant care avg)|~5,800 children|

To put it simply:
One F-15E ≈ Full-time daycare for roughly 7,000–8,000 children for an entire year.
That’s enough to cover every child in a mid-sized American city.
That’s how money gets wasted in war.

Minn welfare fraud is up to 19 billion how many children would that feed

 

[DonGlock26]

How many children could be fed with Nancy Pelosi's corrupt stock market profits?

Minn welfare fraud is up to 19 billion how many children would that feed

Very well then. Let’s eliminate fraud and wasteful war planes. I think we reached a great compromise.
Can’t wait to read your thoughts in your welfare fraud thread that you will soon create.

We need defense we dont need government fraud but democrats need it to pay off voters

How many homeless kids do you personally support?

What is interesting is that it is reported we have lost three F 15's through friendly fire. Do all fighter jets have any defensive warnings to all threats? And are there any weaknesses that the friendly fired locked on to or was it just not a good working efficient move.

WTF?
Like what?
Make signs?

What a dumb ass.

The national Constitution addresses economic and social rights prominently but with little specificity. The Preamble states that an overriding purpose of the U.S. Constitution is to “promote the general welfare,” indicating that issues such as poverty, housing, food and other economic and social welfare issues facing the citizenry were of central concern to the framers.

Promote means to provide an environment that is conducive to the general welfare this is best served by the Federal government staying the **** away from things that should be left to the States as was intended by the Constitution.

10th Amendment

I don't mind having a strong, national defense and I'd rather have my tax dollars spent on modern weaponry than on ballrooms, welfare for illegals, and jet planes used to take FBI Directors to hockey games half way around the world.

What I oppose are these three things:

1) Giving our munitions and weaponry to Ukraine.
2) Giving our munitions and weaponry to Israel.
3) Using our munitions and weaponry for preemptive, regime-change wars and global police actions instead of national defense.

We can use it on SWAT teams for Kash Patel‘s girlfriend maybe.

The military/industrial complex shows us the faults, flaws and weaknesses of their choices for our military. We just overspend to drown our enemies. To any people are living the good lives due to this and we spend a few ties ore on defense than we should. Our own modern systems shot down are modern high tech fighter jets. This is expensive. And people made a lot of money on this.
