I have to admit, it’s a good looking plane. Too bad we’re broke. Oh that’s right, there’s always money for war and over price planes to support Bechtel or whatever but never any for Social Security.

Well we can all hope this plane is not just another huge waste of our tax money like the F22. Another John McCain pork project, while he introduced and helped pass legislation that cut medical benefits for veterans and their widows. McCain is a total joke.
