During a 2008 bandwidth auction, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission inadvertently sold the operating frequency band of the B-2 bomber’s Raytheon AN/APQ-181 radar to an obscure firm headed by a Russian-educated citizen of Mali. Installing new radar arrays on the 20 surviving jets will reportedly cost “well over $1 billion.”
I guess, a "can we please have that back" only works with AIG.
Here's an example of what the government does so well ... screw things up.
And you thing more government involvement in your life is going to make things cheaper? That's about as likely as President Obama presenting a real birth certificate.
Like the new bumper stick says: "You think healthcare is expensive now? Just wait until it's free!"
