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?
The Russians are building the PAK-FA and the SU-x7, and the Chinese are building the J-xx. We NEED lots of F-22’s and F-35’s to maintain our air superiority.
Don't worry. Either DC or New York will likely get the first incoming nuke, whether Chinese, Russian, or terrorist.
Cheers!
I disagree. We've abused our a-10s, and helicopters and ground transportation, but our navy and airforce have had little abuse during the bush years.

Because they will be safe in the underground bunkers built for them, the elite, while the normal citizen is pounded up because of Congress’ ignorance.
How about cancelling congress and their fat pensions, health care and perks?
I know it is a foolish thought but being without this government would be better than what we have.
We have the government that special interest paid for and our tax dollars have bribed votes with.

You forget that while qualifications are required to be even a building custodian, ANY IDIOT can become President, Senator or Congressman.....do.
With such low standards to qualify to become President, Senator or Congressman, small wonder we have the incompetent and corrupt elected officials we do.
The USA must be a truly great nation...to survive its leadership....kind of like a patient with numerous malignant cancers surprising the doctors by not dying as quickly as one would have thought.
We end up with corruption like Pelosi’s where she spends $400,000 of taxpayer funds each month to commute between California and Wash D.C. on a military jet (mere mortals would take a commercial jet, if in the 1st class section).
The US Media being as impartial and unbiased as the Pravda of the old USSR is not helping when Obama does with their approval things that if Bush had done them, the US Media would have been calling for tar&feathers.
And mind numbed voters whose voting smarts are almost on level (but slightly below) of a basket of rocks.
