You need to do the research for yourself. Stop expecting the education white males to do your thinking for you. If you continue to ask me to answer questions, i'll start charging a fee of $100/question.

Like I expected. The class of Attack Sub is a Billion dollar cheaper version of the Sea Wolf. The Sea Wolf Class cost 2.8 Billion to make. The Virginia Class cost 1.8 Billion. I have one question, what happenede to all of the Money put into R&D for the Sea Wolf. The Sea Wolf class project started in 1983. THis was supposed to be the next killer azz sub. Now you tell me its too expensive to maintain. I'm I the only ony here who thinks this was a waste of OUR money. You rednecks bitch about Obamacare, put you give this shit a pass. As long as you put it under defense, its fine to waste 10 billion dollars. But spend 10 billion dollars caring for the poor, and you have a heart attack. MUST BE A WHITE MALE THING :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

What's with the racism? And who is this "you" you keep talking about? It certainly isn't me. ANd you, being a god-fearing, honest man is certainly not stereotyping others. I mean, if you (klean) want racism to decline, then you must remove all racism from your speech and actions. Just a thought. Try going a day without blaming a white person. It feels great. :thumb:

Btw, it's obvious that you either don't know how to research, are lazy, or are just too stupid to think for yourself. Google Sea Wolf. Actually, you don't have to b/c we've talked about why the Sea Wolf was cancelled.

Defense acquisition (in the major systems realm at least) is a political game, which is why the taxpayer rarely gets a good deal.

I was just reading a memo from my top acquisition boss in the Pentagon thumping his chest about reforms called Better Buying Power. He cited a victory in the acquisition of the new generation of Marine One helicopters. One of the big chest thumps was that they put a cap on development cost.

Hello. Was that really that hard to figure out? :lol:

Too bad the JSF program didn't get the memo.

1) You must not see all the times that I call out Alphie, JSO and CitadelGrad for their racist comments. I do't expect you to. I don't surf CS for that shit. You and dal are the most vocal (followed closely by Alphie, JSO and CitGrad) about your racism. :ohno:

I see you can't follow instructions. Again, you have not paid any attention. I don't defend wasteful spending. Who in their right mind would defend that?

Let's play a game, who here has eliminated over $100M from Navy projects between the years of 2007-2011. Raise your hand.

Some spending is necessary, most of it just needs to be done smartly. The difference between you and me is that you complain about spending (w/o understanding why it's being procured) or things that were cancelled 20 years ago (Sea Wolf). Congress is trying to buy more tanks against the advice of the Pentagon. Why haven't you said anything about that?

This comment doesn't make sense. Do you even understand the rational behind the JSF? Look up a few posts where I say the JSF is a headache. It's a mess. I worked on it for a year, it's a fucking mess.

Let me ask YOU a question, do you think the ACA has room for improvement and should be tweaked? Or is it fine as it is?

It can be changed about 40%. and I have always said this.

That sounds quite arbitrary. I agree that it needs to be changed. I am against the penalties (tax) for not signing up.

1,500 gallons isn't much. Was it being tested for R&D?

I don't like waste either, but R&D isn't a cheap game.

Ex. When I worked for NIST, one of my projects was construction of a Net Zero House for R&D. Needless to say, it cost a LOT more than a regular single family home.
