Why spend on planes during recession ?

[Cheekg98]

Spending on defence is always a dead-weight loss, with no contribution to our GDP ...

 

why spend so much on these planes when the economy is already in recession ???

aiyoh... they book these plances many many mths ago lar... that time hor, no recession mah...

[Cheekg98]

i guess they can still ask for delay for the delivery ...

[Blackyv]

they can ask for delay but with current situation worldwide, who are willing to keep these planes and not deliver it asap if done?... they also want to collect $$$ asap mah.....

[Picanto]

do you know whether good or bad times.......the defence budget will not be affected one.

[Kingcopa]

Everything can be cutted except defence budget

[Pocus]

will you take out your car alarm or sell your house lock even if times are bad?

[Picanto]

Nothing can be clearer than how u put it across

Delay or not i think no diff coz the contract has already been signed in 2007. The amount stipulated in the contract will only increase, not decrease if u decide to put the planes in storage in the US.

yeah..a good way to put it across to those man in the street.

 

When times are good, we need a strong defence.

When times are uncertain, we need a stronger defence.

I tink the US is in need of $ more than us now.

if they dun spend...you got no plane to wow at your next in camp training...

[Newbie_driver]

to improve economy during recession, spending is a MUST..... during depression, war is a commonly use tool to improve economy....

[Newbie_driver]

maybe they cater bus for the next overseas mission since no budget to buy plane..... cater bus cheaper...

[Newbie_driver]

this is a legal way way to give money to the US....

[Ghostrider]

These purchases are not made just a couple of months ago....

 

A few years ago they already said they got the F15SG to replace the A4 Skyhawks.

 

Its like like us buying cars....bid for COE, register with LTA then can OTR liao. They have to order and the Boeing begin manufacture....put in specific accessories like IU, MP3 player, reverse sensors, leather seats, 20mm cannon, bombs etc etc etc....
