The U.S. is dropping bombs more quickly than it can make them.

Where is CODE PINK?

“We’re expending munitions faster than we can replenish them,” USA Today quoted Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh as saying in December.

Since then Secretary of Defense Ash Carter has asked Congress to include funding for 45,000 smart bombs in the Defense Department’s 2017 budget. But it could take a while to rebuild the stockpile.

“The US maintains a pretty steady inventory of bombs and missiles for full-on war scenarios,” says Roman Schweizer, aerospace and defense policy analyst at Guggenheim Securities in Washington. “But 2 1/2 years of fighting ISIS and continued bombing in Afghanistan have exceeded weapons-use projections.”

Operation Inherent Resolve, the US-led military intervention against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant flies bombing missions in Syria and Iraq. The United States, which flies a majority of the missions, strikes ISIS targets with laser- and GPS-guided bombs, Joint Direct Attack Munition bombs, Joint Standoff Weapons, and air-to-ground missiles, such as the Hellfire. Per unit pricetags on these munitions range from around $25,000 to close to $400,000.

One well-placed nuke would stop the bleeding...



Maybe even earn us the respect for the strong horse.

How Much Do Welfare Programs Cost the U.S.? More Than You Ever Thought

There’s a lot of push and pull between legislators and government officials as to just how much the government should get involved in public assistance. There are numerous welfare and social safety net programs, helping millions of families with housing and food assistance, child care, and education. But one of the biggest knocks against these programs is that they are costly, and at a time when government spending is under the microscope, these programs are in the cross hairs of deficit hawks everywhere.

Thanks to the results of a study from the University of California at Berkeley, we now have a more accurate idea of exactly how much funding these programs require. Many have hostile attitudes toward SNAP, unemployment insurance, and other programs, and if you’re going strictly off the price tag, it does look like there’s room to be concerned.

The total? $152.8 billion annually.

Agreed. Especially when the target cost far less than that to build.

Europe is under a bigger threat. Let them spend some of their money defending themselves.

Same with South Korea.

Trump says so

but when HE says so, its RACIST and HATE SPEECH

The source you're getting this from apparently left out some other sobering statistics which were featured in the report.

Those tens of thousands of bombs were dropped in just the 2014-2016 period, combine with only the thousand or so that were dropped in the entire previous so-called "war on terror". And now consider the fact that in 2014 the estimated size of ISIS' fighters was 23,000-30,000, and >30,000 bombs later it's still around about 30,000.

Even in the M.E. ISIS is considered radical fringe crazy lunatics by the majority of people, and it would be difficult to transport a whole new 30,000 soldiers to their territory without anybody noticing.
So uh, it WAS 'terrorists' they dropped those bombs on. Right?
Right.

Since John Lennon died over a MILLION PEOPLE in the USA have been killed by avoidable gun violence.
The USA is the richest country on Earth but has one of the single worst education systems in the modern world.
The SINGLE worst healthcare system (Which kills >40,000 people a year because they can't afford basic healthcare) in the modern world as well as public infrastructure.
Your social security and welfare is a joke, your political system runs on legalized bribery, the southern states are the literal court jester of the world and a spray-tanned wig and a shapeshifting reptile are the current presidential frontrunners.

But terrorists blow themselves up and kill 30 people halfway across the world and everybody loses their minds.
And there seems to be a worrying implication there that the USA doesn't engage in state-sponsored terrorism itself.

Okay folks, grab your lawn chairs, sweet tea and popcorn...



We have a live-wire here.

It means that there is zero gun violence in Britain...

Of the "multiple sources" in the echo chamber of your reading provenence that "prove" the validity of the things you believe, how frequently do you bother to ead anything you disagree with?

The entire concept of consilience is fatally flawed.

 

[Blue]

I'm a habitual debater. So, quite a lot.
Consilience is the methodical foundation of proof...

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I'm begging to think that foundation is built of the extreme end* of the Hegelian dialectic...




* and by that, I mean the opposite of reason...

Consilience is like:

Dig up a book in Southern Italy from Roman times.
Book tells of a guy called Aristotle.

Dig up another book in Greece.
Book tells of a guy called Aristotle.

Dig up a few more books across old Roman territories mentioning a guy called Aristotle.

A guy called Aristotle probably existed.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

So there was a Minotaur?

Most probably a creature brought by aliens. Says this guy.
