The True Cost of Military Equipment Spending (and what else it could have bought!)

From: MilitaryEducation.org


Three thousand average household incomes = cost of JUST ONE F-22 Raptor?
Nearly ten thousand family health insurance plans = cost of JUST ONE F-22 Raptor?

10 B-2 Stealth Bombers = one year's worth of a well-fed (not hungry) America!!

(Rumor has it that the US Air Force has 20 B-2 Stealth Bombers in active service.)
