The twilight Zone

Under the Obama rule the US senate made a wise decision to halt the production of the insanely expensive F-22 Raptor jets.Single aircraft may cost something over 300 million Dollars.That means 3 of these aircraft will cost 1 billion.How much good this money will do if spent on the general public?Or given to a poor African country.
There is another side of the story.China and many other countries of the world,including Iran and Pakistan can produce descent fighter jets of their own at around 15 million dollars each.For each F-22 Raptor another country can produce 20 fighter jets,although not that technologically advanced,but still capable of a kill. If one F-22 is being hunted by 10 Chinese war jets,there is a probability that the raptor may shoot most of them but may not survive itself.By that calculation,the Chinese can counter act the expensive "Pride of America" in less than half the cost.
Its a matter of choosing if and elephant is more deadly or a bunch of wasps.
There is another dimension of the story.If 1 billion dollars are spent to devise a plan to convince the senate and obama administration that America is still in grave danger,it may work.Similar things happened in 9/11 and i fear that in current situation,some defense industry conspirator may arrange something similar to save their business.
