The B-2 Can Carry a 20 Ton Payload 6,000 Miles without Refueling

Built to give America a decisive advantage in a nuclear war, the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit was the world’s first heavy payload bomber to incorporate a radar-defeating stealth design. With the ability to carry eight times the payload of the F-117 Nighthawk and an un-refueled range of 6,000 nautical miles, the B-2 Spirit is a globe-spanning bomber that lives up to its ghostly name. Despite a 172-foot wingspan and the ability to carry 20 tons of firepower onboard, it’s alleged to be smaller on radar than even America’s F-35. This bomber was so advanced when it entered service in 1997 that today, more than 25 years later, America’s enemies are still trying to catch up. Meet the B-2 Spirit.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

"With the ability to carry eight times the payload of the F-117 Nighthawk..."
So effin' what? Can the B2 drop a 2000 lbs. bomb into a 12 inch wide target? NO.
The F117 was/is a surgical strike weapon, B2 is nothing more than a stealth B52.
Throwing our allegiances to political parties in the long run gave away our liberty.
