They Collected How Much more than budgeted?
The original estimates for the budget surplus was in the realm of $2 Billion ... What they actually ended up with is over $9 Billion. What are they doing? When I set up a budget I usually hit within 10 to 15 percent. This is almost 500% larger than expected. I can see some of this coming from the strengthening dollar, but not 500%.
I have some ideas for how to spend the money.
20 F117 Tactical Fighters = $900,000,000
4 Los Angeles Class Subs = $3,600,000,000
100 M1 A1 Tanks = $430,000,000
New weapons, uniforms, supplies for new hardware= $3,000,000,000
Training and supplying our Military Properly and the pride we would have in our armed forces=priceless
Now please note that the prices here are figures found on websites and may not be accurate, but that much money sure would fix some issues that we have!
