Restating for the umpteenth time the statement from both Houses of the Senate defence committees, no extra money for aircraft purchases, whatever number the agreed budget buys, that's all they pay for; so as the price goes up, the numbers come down, and the dreaded spiral emerges. And the price at present is far in excess of that used to produce the budget.
So, indeed, unless there is a major war, the number will be well below that originally envisaged, as with the F-22 and B-1/B-2.
