Scary Rumor: Obama to sell B-2 stealth technology to pay off US debt

I'd be less bothered by this if we didn't stop funding all of our kickass jet technology.

Really though... it's not like China having stealth bombers could effect us that badly... I mean the only countries who could have stealth bombers that could bother us are countries in the EU... and they probably have stealth technology already? And we're not likely to go to war with the EU anytime soon anyway?

 

Is 50 billion really anything though considering the trillions in debt we're running up?  Reminds me of the old scene of a guy ordering 15 things off a fast food menu but getting a diet soda.

50 billion is like enough to bail out GM (for now at least). It's a few percent of the debt to China apparently, that's pretty significant.

Anyway, I searched a bit around and the article looks fake. All the places I've seen it posted (blogs and the such) have people doubting its origin, sometimes it's attributed to a journalist who doesn't even seem to exist.
