Paying For New Aircraft Carriers

SOME DESCENDANT OF Gerald Ford, a former American President, smashed a perfectly good bottle of champagne against a twelve billion dollar aircraft carrier, and here we go again. The Ford class of carriers replacing the Nimitz class. Eventually, probably a half dozen flat tops, total value of a hundred billion dollars, will set sail in honor of a mediocre president. Like mom used to say: "what's wrong with the ones we already have?" The good news is, those of us now living will never have to pay for them. Our grandchildren will, unless they choose to pass the buck even further down the time line. Welcome to the United States "fun house", where we finance our mighty military with smoke and mirrors, using a clever and convenient time machine. There is no way in hell we are ever going to be able to pay for all of this, and I don't have any kids, so I'm no help there. These people how have eight or nine kids are our only hope; it'll take a helluva lotta hard working tax paying future citizens to pay off our spending orgy. Another piece of good news is that the new aircraft carriers are real beautiies. (I always had a weakness for flat tops; they're just oo cool). Wouldn't you love to take a cruise on one? That might be a way to payy of our debt, and make some good use of all this insane weaponry; let the United States government sell tickets for cruises on its ocean going ships! Think about it! Its a brilliant plan! We'll get that big money out of those rich people yet. This includes submarines, by the way. The Trident class in particular. Aren't there, what, about eight Trident subs, each costing a paltry two billion bucks? Hell, Bin Laden never had a chance. I'd pay a couple grand to take a ride on one of those, and I don't even have a couple grand. Think how much money it would raise! We could make these weapons pay for themselves. Ten thousand dollars for a ride in an F14 Tomcat fighter jet! Wow. Its the only way we'll ever be able to get any use out of all this crazy insane weaponry. The U.S.A. is borrowing money heavily from the Chinese to pay for itself. Within fifty years, the Chinese will own everything in the United States, and thus the United States, and all these weapons won't be able to do a damned thing about it.
