Turbine, I'm not going to question your issue with the cost. I also never said, nor implied, that public blank cheques were acceptable. This Program is expensive. What is appropriated to B-21 is of no direct concern of mine. That's a DoD and Capitol Hill issue that's frankly out of my area. If B-21 is vital, you'll find the money. Of that, I am sure.
I've never denied F-35 is late, and over budget (hold the front page!!!!). It's here to stay and will remain for 3 or 4 more decades. Fact.
