    Those are like three of our nations most successful programs.

    Also, hundreds of billions is like a couple of aircraft carriers and a stealth bomber.

      It’s not even that.

      If you buy any of those you buy the upkeep and maintenance costs as well and for even a single last Gen plane that can cost well into a the hundreds of millions and potentially billions if it has the service life of something like a b52 or the speciality of a stealth craft.
