We choose - you lose
What's 900 billion or so amongst friends?

We choose to spend $20,000,000,000 $30,000,000,000 on target barges.

We choose to spend $65,320,000,000 on F-22 Raptors.

We choose to spend $39,022,000,000 on C-17 Globemasters.

We choose to spend $1,200,000,000 on two littoral combat ships.

We choose to spend $42,000,000,000 on B-2 bombers.

We choose to spend $89,000 on a 155mm super-duper artillery round.

We choose to spend $239,000,000 (each) on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.


And that's just the tip of the iceberg. We've been hemorrhaging money for a long time keeping the weapons making boys in bidness.
