Obama says F-22 vote "would have been an inexcusable waste of money"

The Senate voted Tuesday to block expansion of one of the country's most controversial and expensive defense programs, the F-22 fighter jet program.

The vote, which stripped $1.75 billion for an additional seven F-22s from the fiscal year 2010 budget, was a reversal of an earlier Senate committee decision to include money for the program.

1,750,000,000 / 1,840,000,000,000 = 0.000951086957

1 - 0.000951086957 = .999

Now we only need to make up the other 99.9% of this year's deficit.

I'm so glad that our government is against inexcusably wasting money.
