1) Good news. We’ve been shooting up the horse for way too long.
2) Get used to it. There is neither the political will or the budgetary heft to build enough CVN to meet what we think we need. @ConsWahoo is correct, 13 is the minimum, but Congress will never fund that/1
We need to accept this as we are about to enter the Terrible 20s. Political disruption has only begun, we will have a recession NLT 1QFY21, we will spend more on interest on the debt than DOD by 2023 /2
This isn’t the future I want, but it is the one the last 2-decades of politicians gave us. BT
