Modern vs Old navy

According to the US Navy times Jim, we have 272 ships as of now, Trump wants to bring it up to at least 350. With that buildup, plus the Air Force wants the new B-21 Raider, a stealthier B2 bomber, which the USAF won't say how much they cost, classified info, and they are going to upgrade our nuclear weapons and systems, I got a feeling it would take a super computer to write out the cost of all this.

Most likely and with the promise of big tax cuts from Trump, I wonder who will fund it

Makes me wonder too; it all smacks of the Regan Era military buildup with its corresponding lack of revenue to pay for it all, and that didn't work out all that well in the end...
