Guess who’s state this earmark turkey lies within? It is Ohio, the House Speaker’s state.
This is the alternate engine for the F-136 for the Joint Strike Fighter. The second engine line, opposed by both President Bush and President Obama, unwanted and unneeded by the Pentagon, rejected by both chambers of Congress, cost $3 billion in taxpayer funds was assumed dead as of last month.
Speaker Boehner obviously brings the dead back to life!
Listen Mr. Speaker - if you talk the talk, then walk the walk.
Knock off the spending!!
last time there was an engine competition, the fed saved big bucks. There is an argument that we can’t afford to save that money, but staking the AF and Navy on a single engine line seems to me to be a bad bet.
