south carolina has its hand our for MORE federal dollars - s.c. is totally shameless and shameful

Like the $120 Million we are spending in Ohio to build tanks that the Pentagon says we no longer need?

Or the millions we continue to spend on A-10s that the Pentagon says are obsolete?
Once again the average joe and most people on here would say we waste money on defense spending. And once again the people in congress don't want to curb spending because they don't want to be responsible for losing jobs in their districts

I don't think you understood what 429 was saying.
 
The a10 is perhaps the best close air support aircraft in moder history. Still being used.

We need tanks in Europe

Why do you say that?

I think we agree, there is wasteful spending within the military complex......Mostly within the Government Contractors. (ie: Building tanks we don't need and building obsolete aircraft)

Its not the contractors that place the orders.
 
southern states are the biggest hypocrites in the world when it comes
to politics and especially govt. spending.

good point herdman - idiots from south carolina thought it was a good
idea to break up the nation into little pieces and have a civil war.

rather than asking for more of MY MONEY they should be paying all of us
war reparations.

let s.c. drown in its own sewage.

The A-10 costs $11-15K per hour to operate.

The proposed replacement costs less than $4k per hour and is considered less susceptible to ground fire.

Generals with both the Army and Air Force agree that it is time to phase out the A-10. But congress knows better than the actual troops!
 
Ha. We are still using it. I promise you. Why?

Because that old bird is a close air support killing machine. Saved many a ground troop.
 
Ground troops love it because it's the jet that shows up. It's the only close ground support jet we currently have.

However, a better option is available and at a lower cost.
 
There is a lot of people that disagree. But oh well. I thought this discussion was about flood relief.
