The Pentagon used to pay 25k for a Stinger missile in 1991, now they pay 495k.

25k in 1991 would be about 60k today.

Not to mention that you'd expect the price to come down after 30 years considering the R&D is done up front.

are going to defend a 2000% markup for a single stinger missle? I am going to assume you do not pay taxes.

Adjusted for inflation it would be 59k today approx.

Not at all, but its outrageously more expensive. Its not just nothing considering how many of those that are used and produced now. A patriot missile would be 59 adjusted for inflation like most things. Not with the military though.

Something happened to him. I think his cult leader changing his opinions on issues all of the time has left him lost.

It's just about the engagement with him, he has no real beliefs to defend

As long as we respond to his posts, he will continue to make asinine comments because that's what energizes him.

You don't use the CPI for this estimate, but nothing in it should be that escalated.

and we wonder why there is 250-300 billion unaccounted for in Pentagon spending. This really should #### us off, it is our money paying for this, but only independent news networks are reporting on it.
