I understand point that you are trying to make. USA will not give anything for free and it is a fair point you are making.Who said we're not paying for them? Can you back up your claim with a neutral source?
We purchased 18 block 52 for $3.5 billion in a FMS deal woth $5.2 billion.
All 76 F-16's are operational now.
Thats Pakistan problem to be frank on how that is calculated because like you are saying somethings are not measured in simple economics and a neutral source will be able to decipher that.
But also I might not be a economic noble prize winner but when USA pays Pakistan for terrorism and killing Pakistan nationals and sets it off with a F-16 (and there is no outflow of US$ foreign currency money from Pakistan) ... sure "somethings" are worth money (at the cost of Pakistan international law and customs status - "where OBL was killed" - "where predator drones operate without sovereignty issues" and "where israel is considered enemy" ... when it is labelled "free" it is with relative measurements
