K: "The F-22 production line is humming so it's harder to kill so we need to focus on that. Once it's good and dead we can turn our attention to the F-35 which will be easier to kill because new programs are always over budget and late." :mad:

You figure the best fighter plane on the planet is humming smoothly off the assembly line and they want to kill it because it's a "waste of money" when they are squandering literally HUNDREDS of times as much money on stupid bull---t designed to buy the most votes, "Libtards" is being nice.
 
This topic belongs in The Bar, if anywhere. Please don't put such topics in the main forum sections.
 
I didn't really like the poll choices, but voted for "libtards" because it's the best fit for my position. Killing the F-22 would have made sense in 1991 or 1992. We saw F-15's kicking butt in Operation Desert Storm, the iron curtain was collapsing, and the need for F-22 wasn't compelling enough to justify the billions that would be spent on development. But all those development dollars have been sunk by now, and buying added airframes would be a pretty good value (while we're still sinking development dollars into the less-capable F-35A.) So the Senate vote is another case of being penny-wise and pound-foolish.
