Additional Hangar Queen Funding Goes Down

Every once in a very long time, Congress manages to do the right thing instead of the corrupt one. This is one of those times; Funding for additional F-22s, which I labeled a hangar queen ten days ago, has been turned down. Thanks, Congress!

More partying here

I agree with shutting down the overbloated F-22 project...and if I may, and add in that the money hatch should be slammed closed on those outrageously over-priced over hyped up B-2 bombers that cost U S Taxpayers almost two billion if by now not over two billion dollars per each production line copy.

Anybody that has any real experience in radar knows that all this STEALTH crapola is just that, crapola. It matters not a whit what design configuration or special paints, or materials an airplane is comprised of, not if the enemy reverts back to, or has in complement with it's modern radar systems, the old radar systems that existed back in the 1950's era that "paints" ANY solid object it detects making target detected show up, not like a 500 mph bee on their screens but as a gleaming diamond in a goat's butt on their radar screens.

Unfortunately our brass hat new toys for spoiled boys at FFU, aka the Puzzle Palace, aka The Pentagon and their mirror images in the aircraft industry dream up all this crap up, and more hundreds of billions of U S tax dollars are immediately pumped into the defense sewer in the name of aircraft research and development.

If we just have to have demonstrated war making capability and I was allowed my preference, I would say start building thermonuclear bomb capable, upgraded and far less expensive and less in cost to maintain SR-71 type Mach 3 plus aircraft again, that would more than impress any enemy of this nation with the fact they could be wiped off the map by dozens at least conventional aircraft and pilots that could come in screaming over their heads at tree level at almost 2400 mph and drop one or more bombs fly back home, land, and be sipping on a cup of coffee damned near before the bomb(s) they drop detonate. Hells bells why not get the Mach II plus B-56 Hustlers out of mothballs and slap the same engines on them the SR-71 has. War of any kind is a nasty soldier take your chances proposition and all this trying to come up with ways to escalate while trying to sanitize it by saving just a few lives is absurd.

Preparing for war in perpetuity likely as not winds a nation up in a war, but I guess close to forty years of standoff Cold War MAD hasn't been enough for this nation's government leadership, military, and it's citizenry. Anybody remember what "bring it on" brought on and how many U S lives that remark didn't save?

All this is just my opinion of course and if the totally gullible taxpayer society I must now live among wants to keep getting sucked into and keep on paying hudnreds of millions or billions of dollare per each one production line airplane while they are trying to figure out how to come up with their mortgage payments, and other bills every month, I have no objections...not since I'm retired and no longer pay in any federal income tax.

I read about an actuary who calculated that the odds of a man's trousers falling down if he was wearing both a belt and suspenders was about 35,000 to one. What would be the odds of a man's trousers falling down while wearing only a belt? What about only suspenders?

How to Insure a Home-Based Business
1. Determine what additional insurance coverage you will need to insure your home-based business.

2. Check out insurance programs available through self-employment organisations or the local Chamber of Commerce.

3. Contact the insurance company that provides your home owner's or rental policy insurance to determine the riders and additions you need to insure your home-office property.

4. Investigate business interruption insurance, which reimburses you if you are suddenly unable to conduct your business.

5. Conduct a daily backup of computer data and transfer information to a safe place.

All it and is much another you can find out on a site
