re: #147 Dark_Falcon

Note: We can’t afford to build 27 facilities all in one building program.

Yes we can. You are simply, I’m afraid, lying.

Please, if you’re not, demonstrate to me that the US does not have the funding capacity to build 27 facilities all in one go.

For example, we could pay for this with an extremely modest raise in taxes on the ultra-wealthy.

Or in removing subsidies for oil and gas companies.

Or in not funding one of the projects the Pentagon itself doesn’t want funded, and instead using that money to pay for it.

Or one of a thousand other places.

So, it isn’t actually by any measure true to say that we can’t afford it, is it? Any more than it’s true for a dad to tell his kid he can’t afford to pay for his health care bills while buying a shitload of guns that the kid doesn’t even want for him.
