こげはんさん
御指摘、ありがとうございました。戦闘機関係には、弱いもので（大汗）・・・でもおっしゃるとおりですね（田中大地さんからの資料を見て、F-35というのを知りました）。
アメリカは、先日の報道では、過去最大の｢双子の赤字」を記録しており、もうすでに国家破産状態。子分の日本と同じように・・・。
戦争ビジネス、スポーツ・ビジネス・・・誰ががっぽりともうけているのか、ということでしょう。

US deficit hits record $1000 billion
From: Agence France-Presse By Jitendra Joshi in Washington
March 15, 2006
THE US current account deficit widened to a colossal new high of $US804.9 billion ($1.09 trillion) in 2005 as consumers binged on cheap imported goods, the US Government said overnight.
Huge gaps in oil and goods trade pushed the broadest measure of commercial and capital flows up from the 2004 deficit of $US668.1 billion, amounting to a record 6.4 per cent of gross domestic product last year.
The US Commerce Department said that in the fourth quarter of 2005, the current account deficit surged by 21.3 per cent from the previous three months to a record $US224.9 billion.
That amounted to an unprecedented 7.0 per cent of GDP. Economists were expecting a deficit of $US218.0 billion for the quarter.
The deficit had fallen in the third quarter as foreign insurance companies paid out for claims arising from hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which devastated parts of the southern United States in late August and September.
The US did enjoy surpluses on its overseas financial and corporate investments last year. But those were not nearly enough to overcome a tidal wave of imported goods, not least from China, and a swollen petroleum bill.
The current account figures confirmed a dismal picture painted by the trade deficit, which according to figures out last week expanded in January to an all-time high of $US68.5 billion.
The US deficit is equivalent to a huge debt owed by the United States to the rest of the world. So far, the US economy has financed its current account gap on favourable terms thanks to foreign demand for US securities.
That has allowed US interest rates to remain low, fuelling consumer spending and a property market boom.
But analysts are worried that foreign investors, including big holders of US government debt like China and Japan, will tire of financing the US deficit if they fear lower returns in future.
"The current account deficit has grown to a point where it arguably cannot be corrected by US action alone," said Michael Woolfolk, senior currency strategist at Bank of New York.

US trade deficit soars to record
Some US politicians blame China for its trade woes
The US current account deficit, the nation's broadest measure of trade, reached a record high in 2005.
According to the Commerce Department, the shortfall, which includes trade figures as well as money flows, surged 20% to $804.9bn (£463bn) last year.
The deficit was 6.4% of the total value of the US economy, the world's largest.
