I was reminded of a cartoon I saw once on US military overspending that, perhaps, might be applicable here as well.

In the cartoon, a general was addressing a group of reporters on the merits of the MX3000 Surface Penetration Device.  The general concludes the presentation by saying the MX3000 Surface Penetration Device cost $3,000 each.

One of the reporters says, "General, $3,000 each seems like a pretty good price for a missile."

The general replies, "A missile?  Ladies and gentlemen, the MX3000 Surface Penetration Device is a nail."
