You have to pay for the cost of upgradaing at some point, but cmon US, this is your tax base you're talking about. Outside of *where* that money goes (it's impressive a country is so full of people who think too much goes to the military but yet so much goes to the military) why would you want to kneecap revenue collection? I'm consistently impressed by how the US raises so many adults who think their country would be better with a government that had no money to do anything. No welfare, no health care, all infrastructure private, etc .. the mentality is bananas, almost *because* of how obvious it is to land there.
