WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Air Force says it cost $2.1 million to send two nuclear-capable B-2 bombers on a training exercise over South Korea that was widely viewed as a show of force in response to weeks of threats from North Korea.

It costs less to send two state-of-the-art bombers halfway around the world than for the average monthly vacation for the “O” girlzzz...

Wow, you mean is cost “almost” as much as sending Obama on few days vacation?

A couple days ago I looked at the Apple Maps satellite pictures of Whiteman AFB. I was surprised to see a B-2 on the flightline (instead of in a hanger) and a bunch of T-38s. What a re 50 year old trainers doing on the same base as our most advanced bomber? Apparently the B-2 is so expensive to fly, the pilots maintain their hours flying the T-38s. (I believe the U-2 pilots do the same up at Beale AFB.) This sounds like money well spent as our pilots participated in a valuable exercise and we showed our enemies we can project power anywhere in the world from Missouri! (It sort of reminds me when a couple B-52s launched from Barksdale AFB in Louisiana all of the way to the middle east so they could fire off their ALCMs at Iraq during Desert Storm.

The difference being that when Obama gets what he has worked so hard to achieve, the collapses of the United States government, there will be no money on the EBT, not a ten percent reduction. The hard working son will survive, on less once again by working hard and diligently, the crazy sister will starve to death throwing a tantrum that nobody has time for or cares about anymore.

We can pay for it by canceling four or five of Idiot Joe Biden's trips home to Delaware.

It’s the same with the entitlement crowd. Take 10% of their entitlement in Sequestration and there would be well organized Nazis picketing politicians homes and the capital. The news would cover it and politicians, especially Democrats, would be damaged. The military is like us kids who were not crazy. We got disciplined and said nothing; no fight at all. As a result the crazy sister took from us and although we resented it, we said nothing.

Apt analogy.

No politician "fears" a bunch of NASA engineers, VA nurses, T-38 mechanics, or Intel Analysts going crazy on them. They DO fear a bunch of out of control takers who would resort to violence in a second if their EBT cards were cut.

The day I see Democrats complain about the cost of something is the day I know we did something right.

“Takers” are “Looters.” Keep thinking of it in those terms. They are not just taking, they are taking from you. That’s looting.
