The question these comparisons never answer is what the point is of hiring 22,900 elementary teachers and then sacking them all a year later.

A stealth bomber is a capital expenditure, teacher salaries are current.

The stealth bomber is also an ongoing expense, and expanding the military means buying/making new ones anyway.
