“Yey, there goes another 30 million dollars of my tax money!”
Heh, not quite. You’re off by a factor of 70. Try $2.1 BILLION! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-2_Spirit) That’s not much less money than an aircraft carrier. The B2 is a Cold-War relic designed to invisibly deliver nukes. Not sure why we need these things anymore. For the price of one stealth bomber, you could buy a whole gaggle of normal fighter-bombers, you know, like 50 or 70 of them!

Oh thanks for the correction, yes that’s still a lot of taxes. Someone give Bush a blowjob so we can impeach him!
