Well no - the cost of the drone is divided over the cost of all the American carcases. Plus, we already bought 'em, and there ain't no chance we're gonna get rid of 'em, so really, it's the pro-rated cost of the drone for your death, plus the cost of the missile.
On the other hand, health care is really damned expensive for all those old farts, becuase we are getting good at it, and we can take the elderly through any number of major medical mishaps before they finally kick off. We're talking multiple surgeries - removing stuff, putting stuff in - very expensive medications, tests, dialysis, cancer treatments....good god...
Which takes me back to the whole, "Smoke up, Johnny!"
A fiscally responsible government would really be pushing smoking on America's youth, for two reasons:
1. Taxes from cig's are partly funding Obamacare, so we need more smokers, not less
2. Lung cancer is still a fairly effective killer, and with any luck will result in early death and far fewer of the "healthy American", recoverable diseases.
So...yeah....Drones and Smoking...the American way forward!!
