Near-north Ontario, French River | Relative to auto industry subsidies, yes really. Latest Carrier to be CVN 78 Gerald R Ford came in with a $13 Billion dollar price tag. http://rt.com/usa/us-navy-ford-carrier-507/ Keep in mind that's just to have her built, I have no idea what the operating costs are but rest assured they aren't cheap. Now before you think I'm bashing the military, I'm not, I am in fact a strong supporter of the military but we all have to realize the costs associated with such a large standing force. |
