Missile Defense....
$10+ billion a year for last 10+ years.....and we can't shoot down anything....

Some critiques of missile defense
The wonderful Fred Kaplan on missile defense
I posit that the mere $10b a year we spend on 164 embassies around the world and the paltry number of Americans working in diplomacy (7000) and development (2000) are a better buy and more effective.
