They argue that 25,000 people work directly for the 1,000 suppliers of the F-22 in 44 states, and another 70,000 indirectly owe their jobs to this program.
Instead of arguing about jobs (another form of earmarking IMHO), how about arguing the value of the weapon system to our military? This argument makes the F-22 seem like a make-work program, not a US military lifesaving system.

Lockheed Martin is the main contractor for the F-22, each of which costs about $140 million.

I cannot believe they can't get the costs below this. Wow.

Fox reporting that this will mean the end of 90,000 jobs!! Not going to go over well with the American people.

Obama has hated this country since he was 6 years old. His father in Indonesia taught him to hate America, all of his associations, Wright, Khalidi, etc, they have all taught him to hate America. Who would have thought that a guy that hates this country would one day become President

The F-22 just wasn’t the plane it was cracked up to be. It did have all the pricetag you could ever imagine!

We’ll regret this later.

Curses upon those who would strike the sword from the hand of our country.

Hubby just mentioned the F-22 this morning. His company makes parts. He said the company may be in trouble if they stopped production.

We've spent much of the W years using and abusing our equipment while the Russians and the Chinese are upgrading theirs.

We have a couple of new airplanes, the F-22 (right here, right now) and F-35 (years from entering service), to replace our older, worn and torn airplanes and to keep anyone from thinking we'd be easily rolled. So, of course, congress cancels the F-22.

Stupid, dangerously naive congress. Why is it when congress screws up everyone feels it but them?

Fox just reported that as many as 90.000 people will lose their jobs over this.

That’s not all that is getting cut. It’s extremely short-sighted to put so much emphasis on anti-insurgent tech at the expense of cutting-edge research that will help us discourage another world war.

Dan Patrick, a Texas State Legislator, was in DC this last weekend.

He said: “There are no foreclosure signs in DC.”

I wonder if the Libs in Congress would even allow the option of foreign sales of the F-22 to our closest allies as a way to keep the production line operating past 2011? It would be nice to have the capability of scaling up production should we have a future threat, or an administration who actually wants to defend our country.

There is an esay way to continue production. Israel has been blocked from purchasing the F-22’s. Congress should authorize Israel to buy them.
