There are going to be quite a few built (>3000).

Woah there is crystal ball rolling around here. Someone may have lost it?

As a country we literially make more money by buying these than not. We'd make money even if we immediately put the jets through a car crusher after taking delivery.

Complete failure of basic economic knowledge detected.

Where will the taxpayer-sourced economic oomph come from for this EXACTLY? Don't say we will print money or go into debt (which are just other ways of saying "my children will pay for this"). What kind of economic activity will have to be NOT implemented to get this crap into the air?
