This country is already broke. The U.S. ALREADY owes trillions of dollars and interest charges to China and to the privately owned Federal Reserve to pay for endless, needless wars...so....Who's going to pay for this nearly $8,000,000,000 aircraft carrier? Our country already spends more of our taxes on defense than the TOTAL spent by ALL the counties in the world combined. (And yet, with all that defense spending, our defense didn't/couldn't, PREVENT 9/11).
Where are the Tea Party "protestors"? Are they willing to protest the dominance of the military industrial complex in our economy and society..... the continued spending of our taxes on...wars and war toys - the so-called "holy, noble and good"? They consider spending tax money on health care "evil"?
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."
--- Dwight D. Eisenhower, April 16, 1953
