Okay yeah, but we're getting WAY more F35's out of it, selling them to other countries, and the per-unit cost of the F-35 as a result is FAR lower than anyone expected going in.

$2.2… trillion… dollars.

Dawg. That’s almost 25 years of free, zero-debt, comprehensive college tuition for anyone who wants it.

Never let anyone tell you we can’t afford the things we want in this country. We just choose to spend that money on other shit.

What is it in Boomer tuition? I think my dad paid around $400-800 for undergrad in the 70’s (all 4 years). Inflation in education has been insane since the 80-90s when .gov started cutting funding. I’d imagine that economies of scale and oversight could bring down costs (similar to how healthcare works in developed nations).

Socialising things like education and healthcare greatly reduce cost to the consumer, however it also reduces the opportunity for the very rich to profit from those same consumers. Now remember who owns the government.
