Basic common sense shows that fat, dumpy pigeon known as the F-35 JSF is going to cost far more than the F-22 Raptor to both develop and to buy, unit cost wise.

Yet, you are allowing them brainiacs in the OSD to shut down the making of something that works on the promise of something that likely won’t, for which you will pay through the nose.

Well might you say, “God save America”, ’cause someone is going to have to!

You act as if bribery and corruption didn’t occur in congress for the last century. Yet I suppose it is okay when ACLU lawyers and other leftist groups are the benefactors.

However the way the DoD budget is laid out and organized needs to be changed. Personnel costs should be separated. It is clear to anybody who has looked at the numbers that the budget is personnel driven, the amount given to research, development, and procurement is not nearly as large as the anti-military crowd wants you to believe. By separating this two areas of the budget, perhaps it will be easier for the US Military to get the new equipment and systems it needs for the future.

Modernization and results should come first. Not the cost in money that senators would rather use for their bribes and personal deals.

I would suggest you invest more time in reading Constitutional law dow. Property rights are not commutative in the Constitution, but individual.

Of course that has not stopped Conservatives from corrupting the Constitution. I guess starting in 1794 and the Fugitive Slave Act that a southern dominated Supreme Court ratified. Ironically the owner ship of human beings is the first right that the corporation wanted to protect.

Since the corporation is mentioned now where in the US Constitution (along with God) it appears that the Corporation has hijacked individual rights and has stolen the Constitution.

What the Supreme Court along with the eminent domain ruling of a few years ago smashes any individual property rights as set forth in the Constitution, this campaign finance is nothing more then the legalization of bribery.

In short of you or I dow approached a member of Congress with a wad of money and request some special law or his/her support on a vote we would be committing an illegal act, attempted bribing of a member of Congress. If Boeing comes up to that same member and says we (Boeing Corp.) would like to donate to your campaign fund ( which when that member leaves office they can take their campaign funds with them) or and by the way _________. It’s all legal.

Can someone explain why?

Under this corrupted and bought off court the corporation has the legal right, through a bought off local/state government to take your real property, and now has the right to bribe members of Congress to support useless spending that serves nothing more then corporate profits, in short they are now in your wallet.

Point 3: Point 2 is already happening. Why design our own equipment, the contractors will handle that? Why manage that program when there is a consulting company to do that? Pretty soon no one knows what’s going on, you can only get service for 2 hours on a Tuesday, and the service support contractors cost more than the battalion they support…….
