yeah you got that right. but to be fair, or perhaps fair i should say, yesterday i heard a republican senator say there are ships and subs that have been sitting in drydocks that need big repairs. i dk about freakin $80B worth, but also that there are upgrade expenses the military needs. yeah, yeah, i know, the underlying elephant in the room is gearing up for war with nk or you name it, but they certainly didn't say that or i dk about that. anyway, thats the way it was put. so it's guns over trains for now.
