"Costly Lesson on How Not to Build a Navy Ship"
".... A project heralded as the dawning of an innovative, low-cost era in Navy shipbuilding has turned into a case study of how not to build a combat ship. The bill for the ship, being built by Lockheed Martin, has soared to $531 million, more than double the original, and by some calculations could be $100 million more....
Yeah, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing!
They have SUCH GREAT COMMERCIALS on WOLF BLITZER'S SHITUATION ROOM!!!!!
They would never gouge anybody to make war profits!!!
Even as spending on new projects has risen to its highest point since the Reagan years, being over budget and behind schedule have become the norm: a recent Government Accountability Office audit found that 95 projects — warships, helicopters and satellites — were delayed 21 months on average and cost 26 percent more than initially projected, a bill of $295 billion...."
You couldn't have done anything with that money, right, Americans?
Not like it would have saved you house or anything.

Ought to buy a tasty bowl of shit for that price!!!!
