        Already is!

        In 4 years, projected budget increased by 37% (30 billion) timeline got pushed back 2 years.

        If it continues to extend 2 years for every 4, and budget increases by 37% every 4 years, it’ll be done by ~2040 and cost 380 billion.

          Must be amazing heading one of those companies

          “Hey, investors are demanding a higher return this year due to inflation. You’re gone if they aren’t satisfied.”

          “Ah shit… alright get Lindsey Graham on the phone. Tell him I need him to write In another $100B to the defense budget…”

          They literally just print money and no one in congress is ever gonna question it or say no for fear of being reported as “not supporting national security” or whatever

          Dogshit country

      So stupid too

      Putting aside morals and such of nukes, the terrestrial ICBMs are totally unnecessary when subs already exist and are out in the oceans carrying warheads that can devastate any country on earth. Just scrap the dickwagging missiles and stick to the subs. But boomers love nothing else more than dickwagging, so, here we are.

      And again, the entire premise is stupid, just saying how they take a stupid idea and exponentially make it stupider
