Best. Photoshop. Ever.
The Washington Post reports that the F-22 amendment in the senate defense spending bill was voted down 58-40. Many have called this pork, and I’m inclined to agree with them.
However, I’m confused by a few things, namely that taking the Obama administration’s stimulus logic full circle seems to justify the F-22 program. There are tons of stimulus projects that create less jobs and are of dubious merit. For an aviation related example look at the small airports that receive million of dollars and serve minuscule communities. I’m positive that the F-22 program would “save or create” far more jobs than those airport projects, tens of thousands of them, and as a Lockheed Martin official pointed out in February, this project is “shovel ready.”
My question to the Obama administration, “Why kill the F-22 but continue to spend the wasteful stimulus money?”
