Well, the cost of a daily print subscription to the New York Times is 14.80...For a week. Mind you, that's to my house, and I live a long fucking way from NYC (checked it against my old NYC zip code, and it's only 11.70 there).
I am not sure where you live, but in Los Angeles it is $7.40 per week. In suburban NJ it is $5.85 per week. That's 385/300 per year.

a laser that is mounted on a truck (which probably costs less than a 747, but who knows) and that can shoot down small aircraft,
The goal for the 747-mounted laser is to shoot down missiles on the way up (when they are over bad guys) versus on the way down (like the Patriot missile). That's why it's on a plane, not a truck.
