Yer just jealous. Admit it. :azn:

I think this is what he may ba talking about (WASHINGTON, Dec 11 (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives will vote to raise the national debt limit by $1.8 trillion to $1.9 trillion as part of a must-pass defense spending bill next week, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said.)

i DOnt think he is jealous i think he is actually thinking

Actually its only sensible to continue your R&D if you want to remain competitive. If you don't have any use for it, just don't make many of it. But you should know how to make it when the need arises.

I think the same would happen with the F-22. It would never be built in the same amount of numbers it was perhaps originally planned to or envisioned to.
 
.
won't it be just advanced version of B-2?

The RFP for the 2018 bomber set the baseline specifications as:
- Manned
- Subsonic
- 2,000+ mile combat radius
- Payload of 14,000-28,000 lbs
- Nuclear weapon capability
- Next-generation stealth (i.e. protection against low frequency radar)

The 2018 bomber is considered a stop gap to the 2037 bomber program which will most likely incorporate super-cruise. and maybe be unmanned.

jealous??? come on man.....usa has already has the most massive war machine in this world, i think what it needs to do is just have further r and d, no need to expand its forces to a quantity ever seen in history as no one will try to attack usa at its military peak moment...you will only lose security and then even be attacked only when your economy can no longer sustain your overexpenditure on military stuff , if from now on the reforms and regulations still dont bring much improvement to the current crisis(you should focus your money on financial and economic remediation rather than already bulky fat pentagon)....you might dominate economically and pass each crisis after ww2 in the past due to your usa dollar hegemony but now things are totally different as there are so many emerging economic entities on this planet......usa productivity(many other countries released their productivity as well and heading for higher edge tech, what about boasting your remaining advantages in world competition???) as a great sharestake in world economy is much diluted , so as usa dollar.....MAINTAINING A STRONG HEALTHY ECONOMY IS THE ONLY WAY TO DEFEND YOUR HEGEMONIC RIGHTS ON THIS PLANET, NOT THE MILITARY OPPRESSION.....CAN ANYONE DENY this statement of THE WORLD CURRENT?????

And we would like to have that for as long as possible.

you will only lose security and then even be attacked only when your economy can no longer sustain your overexpenditure on military stuff , if from now on the reforms and regulations still dont bring much improvement to the current crisis(you should focus your money on financial and economic remediation rather than already bulky fat pentagon)....you might dominate economically and pass each crisis after ww2 in the past due to your usa dollar hegemony but now things are totally different as there are so many emerging economic entities on this planet......usa productivity(many other countries released their productivity as well and heading for higher edge tech, what about boasting your remaining advantages in world competition???) as a great sharestake in world economy is much diluted , so as usa dollar.....MAINTAINING A STRONG HEALTHY ECONOMY IS THE ONLY WAY TO DEFEND YOUR HEGEMONIC RIGHTS ON THIS PLANET, NOT THE MILITARY OPPRESSION.....CAN ANYONE DENY this statement of THE WORLD CURRENT?????
Overexpenditure?

:rofl:

From when and compared to what?

Relative Size of US Military Spending, 1940--2003 (TruthAndPolitics.org)

Take a look at the historical US defense expenditure and explain to the readers how is it that the Pentagon 'overexpenditure' the country.

People always forget how massive the U.S. economy is even in a down turn. The yearly tax base is more than many large countries entire GDP.
The distortion here is the defense dollar amount by itself, never in comparison with the total annual budget and never in contrast with other Departments, as if the budgeting process is known only to non-US governments. They will throw up irrelevant arguments like how the US defense dollar amount could be used to feed so-and-so people in so-and-so country in Africa, as if somehow it is America's responsibility to feed so-and-so country, and not the government of that so-and-so country. If we have to feed you, then your country is ours.

They don't keep borrowing to keep going. They keep borrowing to expand on what they already have. Take the health care program the democrats are trying to pass. it will add another 1 trillion dollars at least and most likely more. Most Americans are against it but they will cram it down our throats anyways. they are not borrowing from china so where do you think it is coming from? So far Obama has broken most of his promises to reign in spending. Depending on who the republicans put up as a candidate. Obama could find it harder then expected to get reelected.
