House Armed Services Committee chairman Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash. thinks we are wasting money on the F-35 stealth fighter/bomber. He asked the following questions: "What does the F-35 give us? And is there a way to cut our losses? Is there a way to not keep spending that much money for such a low capability because, as you know, the sustainment costs are brutal," Smith said at a Brookings event Friday. ]
The F-35 helps give us air superiority, which is something we want whenever we go to war. That air superiority helps to minimize losses of our troops on the ground. It strengthens our national security not just abroad, but right on our own turf. I can't believe he's asking how we cut our "losses" on the F-35 after he voted in favor of the stimulus package that's providing billions to blue states that pretty near bankrupted themselves because they shut their states down. He should be telling the governors of those states, "Ya'll need to find another way to cut your losses because we're not going to let the American taxpayer fund your stupidity."
The F-35 is expensive to buy and to keep operating, but isn't safety our people from out nation's enemies worth it?
