The total costs to keep all F-35s in the air until 2070 (likely after you and I are dead and in the ground), would not even cover 6 months of Medicare for all or UBI. Not sure how you can draw such an equivalence.


Just the acquisition costs would cover the entire NIH budget for a decade, though.


That wasn't the comparison being made


How are you calculating the cost of medicare for all?


I just took Bernie Sander's estimate, which looks like it comes from Yale. His website says $4.7 Trillion per year. But you can really take any estimate out there, and it wouldn't change my point.
