This Thing Is a Flying Pig

RE: This Thing Is a Flying Pig
Yeah...actually more than $1 trillion.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/2...3L20120329


Quote:The U.S. government now projects that the total cost to develop, buy and operate the Lockheed Martin Corp F-35 Joint Strike Fighter will be $1.45 trillion over the next 50-plus years, according to a Pentagon document obtained by Reuters.

This article is from 2012....can only imagine what the costs are up to now.


Reminds me of the words of Senator Everitt Dirksen:  "A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you are talking real money."
