“If there is (additional) cost growth, then we will have to reduce the buy,” Robert Hale, Pentagon comptroller, said Wednesday during a Precision Strike Association-sponsored conference in Arlington, Va. “I don’t see us getting additional funding” above the $708 billion in the Obama administration’s 2011 defense spending proposal."

708 billion, for one program, to build one weapons system. That's more taxpayer dollars spent on one plane that the amount of taxpayer money spent on K-12 education total.

Are you still going to cling to that horribly flawed notion that we spend more taxpayer dollars on education than on defense?
