Your Tax Dollars at Work

Must be a pretty damn special plane
Cut BUFF's, all U2's and we don't need those 117's any more.

Defense Tech: B-52s Axed for More Raptors:
"Air Force chiefs want their new stealth fighters, bad -- so bad, they're willing to scrap some of their best-performing planes early, in order to free up cash for their controversial, next-generation jet.

It's part of 'a bid to save $16.4 billion and boost spending' for the F-22 Raptor program."
