Besides the technical and ideological objections, no one seems to be mentioning that 1 trillion USD just won't cut it ?

Those few new shiny F-35 Joint Strike Fighters will cost "an estimated $1 trillion to develop, purchase and support through 2050"

And you expect to build the frickin' USS Enterprise for 1 trillion ?

It really hard to imagine the entire trillion dollars went into the development of the F-35. Maybe it did, or maybe there was another secret plane developed at the same time...
