The price of a Stealth Bomber

[Henry C.K. Liu]

Still, it was less embarassing to the Pentagon to admit that it was shot down than
a crash cause by structural defects.
The perversity of capitalism is that it consistently prefers the destructive use of
capital rather than the constructive use.
The option of reveiving the cost of the military action in the form of bombs or in
cash was never offered to Yugoslavia.
It seems obvious that US$50 billion (and rising) estimated war cost in hard cash
will go a long way in facilitating peace.
All through the Vietnam wars years, I kept asking what would the war be like if the
US were to drop dollar bills instead of bombs over Vietnam for a decade?
