Eventually, the military ended up with only 188 at a price tag of $412 million each. Before that, the Pentagon wanted 132 new B-2 stealth bombers at about $500 million per plane.

just about as smart as NYS putting troopers in the U turn before exit 24 durring stop and go rush hour every morning once again never handing out tickets other than following too close when someone rear ends the person ahead of them that panic’s when they see the cop while traveling 45 mph under the speed limit. Or sitting at the 23 tolls at the fork as you aproach the booths west bound from the thruway. What are you possibly going to enforce there? Or is it just to scare everyone and cause a chain effect that stops the traffic west on the thruway about 3/4 of a mile BEFORE the 23 exit lane??? Or sitting in the 180 deg turn at the top of the empire state plaza exit (south mall arterial) to watch people make a turn, no traffic devices or anything for people to fuck up. Or them sitting on the side of the road that comes out of the last right turn after the state parking in the plaza that meets Madison ave… figured he was going to ticket people cutting off people in the crosswalk who roll the stop sign every morning… but aparantly not since 4 cars ahead of me rolled it without even touching the brakes infront of the cop and he didnt do shit. That was all today on my ride in to work this morning. Complete fucking waste of money. Put GPS modules in the trooper cars and when they sit for 30 mins an alarm goes off and they have to wake back up and atleast relocate to another hiding spot… or drive around and fucking get something accomplished. ---

back on topic… the jets are a waste of money. If we are still alive, still a country and nothing really changed since we havnt had the fucking planes yet… why do we need them? Its like replacing the tires on your normal every day car every time you turn the key off when you come home from work. If what you have works perfectly fine now, it will tomorrow too… changing them is a waste of money. ---
