Oh, I wanna see you walk  into a strip club with your piggy bank ... and a hammer.

The $46M wasted on making pennies (I agree that it's a waste) is insignificant compared the F-35 program. We've spent hundred of billions of dollars for a fighter jet that still isn't working while the US cancelled production on by far the best fighter jet ever made (the F-22). In perspective that's about 10,000 years worth of the waste in making pennies.

I think a lot of the defense spending is to keep the wheels spinning. Not like you can close it down, and then open it back up only when you need it. If you don't keep pushing the envelope (even failing), you are going to lose your edge in the arms sales race.
