Isn't it just amazing. Seems the spy satellites that can take pics of a cigarette at 20 miles aren't quite good enough.

Gerritt, 400 million? If you have ever seen how our military projects go that is just the low ball estimate to get the project approved. It wouldn`t surprise to see them actually cost twice that.

Parts made in 44 states? So the lobbyists representing the company could tell the politicians if you don`t approve this project we will run campaign ads saying your actions cost people in your state jobs. That is how it works down here. 70+ registered lobbyists for each member of congress.

 

Akron Ohio is where I believe the Goodyear blimps are made or, and stored, I see the flying past here all the time. I know they have a hanger for them off of state route 224.

 

Also get to see groups of hot air balloons once in a while, kind of a neat sight to see them drifting across the sky.

, lots of bright colors.

In theory at least, the 400 million will provide jobs and people with jobs get mortgages. In other words this is the "infrastructure" type spending that is talked about (meaning spending to create jobs).

Make no mistake, I think this entire financial thing is a fabrication for someones benefit (See AIG payouts this morning) but someone has to manufacture these things and that means jobs.

65,000ft huh. Ever heard of an AA missile. They shot down a U2 spyplane that was moving at 500 knots (or whatever) in 1960. How hard would it be to take down a blimp that doesn't move with todays technology? BAM 400mill up the chute. Military thinking at its finest. 400 mill could be used in much better ways to stimulate the economy.

And they still can't get their priorities straight. I just got a letter that I owe $23000 in back taxes in VA even though I haven't lived there for close to 12 years
