Does the United States need more tanks?

This could cause some problems if we have incorporate this tanks, because we would be spending an extra half billion tax payer dollars on the tanks. Experts are also saying that these tanks aren't actually worth building. Even the army's chief of staff says that if they had their own choice they would be using this money in a different way. The reason that congress is pushing for these tanks to be built is so that we can keep up all the jobs in the congressional area where the tanks are being built. This probably won't happen because the army is pushing for it not to happen. If the army didn't say anything we would probably have spent $500 million dollars on things that aren't going to make an impact on our country's freedom.
