Congress urged to cap B 2 fleet amid cost concerns
Scripps Howard News Service reports that critics urge Congress to limit the B 2 stealth bomber fleet to 20 planes, arguing the main nuclear mission is obsolete. The House voted 219 to 203 to keep production lines open for two more aircraft, signaling a costly down payment on a second 20 aircraft fleet funded by borrowing, with California and New York tied to the decision due to jobs and production. The Senate is urged to follow the military’s guidance and end expansion unless new threats emerge.
