Holy shoot! Are you serious? I already heard about the USN building a 5th generation air craft carrier that can submerge itself--now im reading about the FB-22?

7 billion dollars of tax payer money...i wish the US government can solve some problems in the education sector and social welfare isntead of putting total primacy over our already enormous military spending policy and defense sector. Right now there are almost 40 million Americans who are not covered by health insurance because of the cost of insurance coverance--and are left to fend for themselves.
