Why Things Will Never Get Better

RE: Why Things Will Never Get Better
Quote: which is an enormous money pit.

A fact which brings a tear to defense contractor's eyes, no doubt.

I'm about 6 miles from Luke AFB where the JSF* is going to have its training facility. Whenever one flies over my wife asks "is that the sound of 'freedom?'" I usually reply "it's the sound of money burning."

Quote:According to one of its supporters, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is not "what our troops need," is "too costly" and "poorly managed," and its "present difficulties are too numerous to detail."

The F-35 is a case study of government failure at all levels - civilian and military, federal, state, local, even airport authority.
