We have 11 nuclear powered aircraft carriers in service in four more on the way. No money for healthcare.

  Nuclear powered aircraft carriers are cheaper than diesel powered aircraft carriers.

    I believe the point was that aircraft carriers are more expensive than no aircraft carriers.

      Possibly, but the point was poorly formed, lacked specificity, and is outside the scope of conversation.

        A common talking point is about how we spend y on the military_thing when we could be spending on y on problem_x. Seemed fairly obvious in the context of this discussion.

          It's not in scope merely because cliche stupidity is common.

  It's not that there's no money, there's just not enough will.
