This money will be tossed down the rathole and never produce anything whatsoever.
Isn't this LESS than the amount that was going to the F-22 that the democrats killed? And that WAS producing something usable and jobs at the same time? Can't we vote the democrats out yet?!?
Your statement is so full of fail that it should not be read by ANYONE. Yes lets build more multi million dollar fighter planes that we all get to enjoy so much, instead of investing the money in rechargeable car battery manufacturers that people can actually use that will create a SUSTAINABLE job market, not a build 50 more death planes.
Holy freaking crap you repubs are so whacked out on i dont know what kind of goofballs. Im sure your GOB's are writing a new script for arguing this right now.
Um, it could be 'country saved via military' you know. People these days are so damn stupid. Bash military spending that actual produces stuff.. But they support endless entitlement programs and 'wars on poverty' that go nowhere because people aren't ENTITLED to money, they have to EARN it.
The YF-22 program was canceled in favor of the cheaper and more versatile F-35. The F-22 was originally designed in the late 80's early 90's to be an air superiority fighter to meet and beat the soviets fourth gen fighters and the rumored stealth aircraft that we still haven't seen (the PAK-FA). The F-35 will have a much greater range of capabilities - later production F-22's have been fitted with a ground attack capability, but it won't be as capable as the F-35. The F35 is fitted with a Distributed Appature System - when combined with a helmet mounted display, the pilot will be able to look 360 degrees as though the airframe was see through. This much greater situational awareness combined with the open architecture of the software will mean that this airframe will be able to be continually upgraded, unlike the F-22. The F-22 supposedly cost $200M apiece, the F-35 should be less than half that for a far more versatile airframe. The F22 is really the last relic of the cold war.
The F-22 isn't as versatile in equipment sense, but it is much more maneuverable and quicker than the F-35. In a war where our enemy was that of Germany in WW2, if we only had F-16s and F-35s we would be destroyed by the Superior craft. On top of that, let's not forget that the F-22 and the F-35 aren't even made for the same missions.
@Brian i dont think you see the potential of the F-35. When in service it will become the 2nd best air to air fighter and the world's best bomber. I want to also add the F-22 is a big waste of money when the competition is not there. Even Donald H. Rumsfeld felt this way > http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1462700/posts.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.

Haha yeah let's build more jets! ECONOMY SAVED BECAUSE IT CARRIES MISSLES!
LOL!!

HA! Even the Pentagon didn't want the F-22, or rather didn't want MORE F-22's than they already have.
You know it's the GOP when war is the greatest economic engine they can think of
