Not to be outdone, today in the Senate which is trying to pass a continuing resolution to keep the federal government going - they are one day ahead of schedule, since the last day of the fiscal year is tomorrow, a Republican Senator introduces the "Fast Act", which promises to cut $100 Billion of waste from the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP programs.
Remember the B-1 bomber? It was a replacement to the B-52 (so, Little Theorem, catch up on your armaments..) The price tag was $290 Million.
So - for $100 Billion, you could have 344 B-1 bombers. Now, there were only 100 in production, and not all are still in active service.
Remember when $290 Million was a lot of money?
