The F-35 is a nice plane in only one category, radar visibility. It is a fine stealth aircraft but once it is seen it is easy to knock out. It is slow, top speed is a third slower than the F-22. It has a very small weapons load out, not even half of the 22 or the 15 for that matter.

The 35 is a compromise aircraft, it is full of compromises because of the reductions in military spending. The US spends about 3/4ths of our spending on transfer payments, or redistribution of wealth. In the 50’s we spent 3/4ths of our spending on defense. The socialists don’t care about defense, they only care about bread and circuses.

I think u make a good BROADER point here. Trump’s first year should launch Constitutional Amendment efforts that enforce the tenth amendment in part by barring the federal government from ALL welfare payments of any kind or nature whatsoever and return that responsibility to the states where that power rightfully should be.
