Duncan Hunter: “Better fund the Coast Guard, folks, and the merchant marines. This budget doesn't do it.”

But, again, you are talking about ScanEagle, which is extremely old technology with hopefully new sensors on it, but this is not groundbreaking, right?

I think he said $18 billion. Probably closer to twice that.

Congressman Hunter pled guilty to misuse of campaign funds after investigation turned up truly impressive, almost lurid capacity for spending campaign money that did not belong to him.

But don't spend $18 billion that way. Spend it where it has the most effect, which is the U.S. Coast Guard.
