President Obamas newest Stimulus package was the firing of 110 Tomahawk Cruise Missiles in an attempt to spread democracy in the world. I hope his plan works because I don't see where we need to be involved in every civil war in any given location on the earth. However, very good news for the employees of Raytheon Systems Company located in Arizona. Currently the state has been hit very hard in the recession (? - depression) and this will be a big boost to the company. At an average cost to the Navy FOB Dock, of $569,000.00 per unit I am sure Raytheon will be expecting a new purchase order form the Navy (you and I) for $62,590,000.00. Now that is a stimulus package to be proud of! Of course the cost per missile does not include delivery to the firing base/ship, technical support, updates, deployment nor launching costs. So the civil war in Lybia is costing the US Tax Payer how much? I am sure we will never be told. Imagine if we were able to use all that money here in the US to help upgrade our own economy?
