Do they need another $2.7 billion to fix it?

Merivigian4675d ago

I know right? You can get huge beastly computers for a few thousand, if you can spend billions on a computer it can be almighty if done right, apparently they don't do research.

cheetorb4675d ago

Oh Gee, no way!! Overpriced government spending on junk?
I'm sure this computer wasn't some "my buddy can get us a great system for cheap" deal.

It's a wonder this country is going bankrupt.

RememberThe3574675d ago

Yet we can't find money to pay for schools...

zero_cool4675d ago

The military takes out larger budgets then this per year try around over a quarter of a trillion dollars per year!

FarEastOrient4674d ago

The sad thing is that the military budget is cheap in comparison to Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security.

BubbleSniper4674d ago

it might be cheap, but we have to start somewhere. lol. one has to wonder what "our money" is truly going towards

zero_cool4674d ago (Edited 4674d ago )

@FarEastOrient are you applying that people who can't work & can't afford to pay for health insurance are a waste of money but it's ok to waste money on pointless wars?

f7897904674d ago

@zero

It's implying. Not applying.

He's implying that we spend an insane amount on helping everyone. We all want to live in a Utopian society where everyone gets everything they need but can we afford that? The huge debt says no.

Tzuno4674d ago

That's it that's the future invest in war. You retards there are more good ways to spend that amount, what about a hospital to treat poor people for free. I hope all those implied in this project catch cancer and die you maniacs.
