American politicians claim this futuristic plane was invaluable in their Iraq and Afghanistan wars, both of which they lost.
American national debt stands at 31 trillion and congress is currently debating adding another $1.7 trillion.
This plane will be phased out in 2032 for Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider which will cost $700 million each. The USAF ordered 100.
How long can America continue to borrow before collapsing?
Top Gun Maverick's Dark Star is similarly futuristic but the mock plane didn't cost Cruise $2.2 billion.
