It is also kind of handy that we get aircraft carriers out of it too.

Mind you, I'm a socialist, so like, I personally wish we could move a bunch of the "jobs program" stuff over so that instead of carriers, we get well-educated, fed, and cared-for children and good medical care for all, and stuff like that. And that if we want a certain number of aircraft carriers, we should just try to actually get that many carriers on purpose for the cost that building the carriers entails. Without also trying to do 10 million other things on top of it to the point that the carrier output is a side-effect.

But like, it's probably better than no carriers at all, which is how it's going for lots of other countries. So I guess that's something to hold on to.
