The damn thing is only seventy percent finished, and the cost overruns alone already come to over two billion dollars. This is at a time of extreme austerity, and when our Navy already has fifteen super carriers. Yet grade school kids in this country have to go hungry for the want of thirty fucking cents?

We need to lay-off two thirds of our Generals and Admirals, at the very least. The Pentagon has lost it's mind.
