The Air Force is hardly clamoring for a new bomber. They want one, sure. But its well on the back burner right now, behind a dozen other priorities that DO need more money. New fighters, tankers, upgrades to C-130s, C-5s, C-17s, A-10s, etc. Oh yeah, and trying to avoid the massive personnel cuts that are occurring as we speak.
Also, I've not heard ANY plans to build any new B-52s or even return some of the mothballed airframes into service.
But yeah the Army needs more money too.
