  • The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II program was a fairly expensive mistake.

  • I hate people that complain about tax dollars. In reality, you are giving like .0002 cents.

  • What about Operation Rolling Thunder, That was far me expensive.

  • Oh that's why when I called in my Stealth Bomber in MW2 it didn't show up.

  • i wonder how many poor people 1.4 billion dollars could help...

  • @kingalow1 You mean hoe many more teachers could have padded their retirement ? and how many more admin and how many more vice principals? or green school buildings that aren't more efficient?

  • Fourteen thousand Millions..

    1,400,000,000

    Erased by the steam of a poor mans piss...

  • @SDLively Why do people always say that? America doesn't buy from the lowest bidder, they do the exact opposite. The more they spend the better, and the more bucks the politicians get out of the deal. The F-16 was supposed to be a simple, cheap plane...that didn't last long. They spent 5x the projected budget making the multi-purpose F-111, and then went and built all the planes it was supposed to replace anyway. And so on. Can anyone say "F-22"? Or how about "F-35...Failure Waiting To Happen"?

  • Good pilots, anyway...they stuck with it until they had no choice to eject. I guess they do choose the best for those things. As for "picture perfect takeoff", anyone who knows anything about flying can see that it rotates way too far way too soon...there's obviously trouble even before it begins to lose altitude.

  • a billion dollar fucking hole in the ground - how many schools could've used that money for books and more teachers?

  • @fowzie777 What's this about the knot?
