Serious question

If you want to point a finger at costs point it at Congress. The
agonizing stretch-out of the development and contruction periods we
have experinenced in the last 20-odd years just tots up billions as
everything is slowed down but the overhead costs just keep piling up.

In which case, production and unit numbers, get reduced. Which then drives the
unit cost up, which then results in even more cuts. They you arrive at a
situation where you get so few of something, like the B-2, where the bulk of
the costs were already paid for, but when spread out among such a small
production run, the planes become extremely expensive.
