Looks to me one air crane helicopter costs around $2m per year to lease and operate. If we spent “only” $500m on the ABC instead of a billion a year we could run 250 of these air cranes right now saving people’s homes and lives. I don’t think there is 250 in existence but I am sure the good people at Erickson would be more than happy to build them!

I wonder if the people who have lost their homes would rather we have taxpayers money being spent running Ironman cartoons on ABC 3 for kids in an era of apparent childhood obesity or life saving water bomber air cranes?
