What land were you born in? What's wrong with hackernews today are a bunch of musq-worshipping, "smartphone" toting, self-righteous dolts opining on subjects they have zero depth on. Let me guess, you are boss with a joystick on your Apple Thunderbolt display and MSFT Simulator-X. Do you understand what drives the cost of a physical good? Do you understand why the US government has structured the defense contractors into a prime-sub hierarchy? Do you understand why the US government has cost-plus contracts? What do you know that I can't read on Wikipedia? Why don't you Google the Forbes list and tell us about all of the billionaires the government is minting in the defense contracting industry? You know where the money is going? Look at raw materials. Why do we have prime contractors? So they aren't "too big to fail." Why do we have cost-plus contracts? Because no one can hedge raw material and labor costs for projects that are 10-30+ year contracts. You see, the US government issues its own currency and as we have seen the Federal Reserve do since 2008, it can spend and self-finance(quantitative easing) as long as the political will exists to spend. The government has no budget constraint other than the arbitrary ones we periodically invent for it. Canada's military budget is a fart in the wind and the only reason we are SHARING any piece of the development with anyone is diplomacy. Tell us all something substantive and save the impassioned platitudes.
