I couldn’t agree more with everything except your final recommendation. Congress should reject this budget cut, fund continued production, and send the A-10’s to the Marines. They would know exactly what to do with them.
Congress needs to bring back manufacturing to America, to bring back American jobs, to decrease our national spending, and decrease our debt.
Everything we are doing now, is bad for America.
We now are 18 trillion (actually now 18.1 trillion) in debt.
Yet this year, we will set YET ANOTHER TRADE DEFICIT RECORD with a closed, communist nation.
And nobody is doing one darned thing, to bring back any American jobs.
Nobody.
There is no continued production. One of the first things cut under Clinton was the A-10 production line - and the Congress added in that the tooling had to be destroyed.
We haven’t had a new A-10 built since 1993.
