THE PENTAGON – The Air Force’s next generation stealth bomber, the B-21 Raider, is reportedly not only invisible to radar but also completely undetectable by budget oversight, according to sources at the Pentagon and Capitol Hill.

“A conventional bomber would have a budget signature hundreds of times that of the Raider,” explained Northrup Grumman project manager Dave Coleman. “You can see the price tag a mile away. But the B-21 is practically magical in how it escapes even the most probing questions on whether the taxpayers are getting their money’s worth.”

While each bomber is estimated to cost at least a half a billion dollars each, due to the ultra-sophisticated oversight evading technology used by the Raider, the overall cost is effectively invisible. Some have estimated the program to approach $100 billion, but when asked for comment, Coleman laughed, and then threw down a pellet that created a smoke screen, allowing him to slip away.
