Your Tax Dollars Might Be Funding a $1 Trillion Fighter Jet That Can't Beat a Drone Swarm
The Pentagon's new next-gen fighter aircraft program is soaring past a staggering $1 trillion price tag, and experts warn it could be obsolete before it even takes off. With swarms of cheap drones capable of taking down advanced jets for a fraction of the cost, your hard-earned money might be funding a billion-dollar paperweight. This means higher taxes and less funding for things like roads, schools, and healthcare—all for a weapon that may not protect you. Before you write your next check to Uncle Sam, ask if this is the best use of your wallet.
