They keep saying a million dollars, or a little less, but does that

What is the marginal cost of another missile?

It's hard to believe anything costs a million dollars after there is
an assembly line of sorts.

Yes, millions but you can bet the corporation that makes them hides all
it's profit in a dummy store front in Switzerland to avoid US Taxes.
Just like hundreds even thousands of corporations now. Yes, GE, GM,
Phizer and all the drug companies, Google, IBM, all the big ones.


By the way, that amounts to 1.3 TRILLION! a year the government don't
get. Now you wonder why the economy is bad and there are no jobs?

Why do you believe the US government is should get paid a dime on money made
elsewhere that has already been taxed where it was earned?
