I need some people in congress to create a slide deck for what services could be provided for 200 billion dollars. Actually, let me clarify that I mean services that are not part of waging war. Services to citizens and constituents

They kicked all of the smart people out of the military who knew the circumstances where this might happen. Power is something you project, once the illusion is broken its gone forever. Better to have an F-35 and no one knows just how powerful and sneaky it is than to use it and remove all doubts.

I don't even like this stuff but this is so embarrassing.

@griotspeak

Wait are you talking about the budget or that one expensive jet that just let get shot down?

LET. They let that happen.

@futurebird Budget, I think. My post was in response to a report suggesting that a 200 billion dollar request was coming for war efforts
