What's new

New US bomber to be funded in 2011

The B-2 is still fairly new, and one of the best bombers on earth. Why spend so much money on a new program? Also, The B-52 will be in service for several more decades, so again, why build another bomber? I think the money could be better used for, i don't know, schools, the elderly, the sick, boosting the economy?

major advancements in stealth ability. I see plans being talked about as well to take the pilots out of the bomber and make it remotely flown. though I think that fits more with the 2037 bomber program.
