So they have voted to reduce the overall buy by 7 frames ($1.75B) BUT they HAVE NOT voted to reduce their overall Defence Spending by the same amount, but have decided to re-allocate it to where it MAY be needed more urgently - UNLIKE HM Govt (Brown) if the last link/post is to be believed.

BTW the F-22 line may be reducing but the F-35 work incoming to Marietta and the probable increase in the C-130 Prod Line may offset any job losses.

Makes perfect sense to me................
