the fact that you are cutting your military spending and cutting your forces you guys need to spend more money on your military.

A stealth plane is not good if it can fly supersonic cuz first it would make a lot on noise the sonic boom for example
and a radar operator would notice a bird going mach 2.
the B-2 and F-117 could have both been supersonic but it was counterproductive for a stealth plane to go supersonic.

Also what are you saying the Us is incapable of making supersonic stealth aircraft?

Yes but the raptor can fly mach 1.6 without afterburner
so its not the usual supersonic mode where you can only stay supersonic for a few minutes before you run out of fuel so that is a good thing.
Also there is a reason the US planes cost more because they can still be good after 30+ years.

Oh I know, supercruise. It's kind of new-ish. We got it on our Typhoon2 too. Rafale has it too.
