   US is already dominance in air superiority. No harm to delay F35 project. Focus the money more on Americans and the economy. When Americans get back on track, you can make more F35 later.

   @Frank: It was reported by many major news outlets that the Chinese stole air frame designs from a higher up within the F35 project. They didn't get electronics or engine designs. You can google it for yourself. I'm an independent by the way. 🙂 Thanks for generalizing me though. You're an American though, so you're allowed to generalize or stereotype people you don't know personally.

   I am glad for the cuts. Companies need learn to make things cheaper.
   @Joe from 312PM- we do need to cut more programs from the poor. I love seeing the poor struggle. They are losers, and gave up on life. Cut taxes for the rich! We are the biz owners who employ the poor. And cut unemployment

    In the immortal words of Republican House Majority LeadaerJohn Boehner "SO BE IT". Congress needs to also create revnue, not just pile cuts upon the poor / working middle class – let look at Wall Street – TRANSACTION fees buying and selling to be paid by "BONUS Babies aka traders/brokers".

    Eliminate all education related funding now except for corporate .mil related welfare. This ensures a true utopia of harmony and order in a world that has been painted as primitive and hostile for three decades. The computer wins all jeapardy rounds... Drink up and give more power to the accidental offspring. Its liberation day for the children. All others shall be silenced. lol

    most people mistakingly lump tea party members with republicans. thats akin to linking pedaphiles to democrats. true conservatives support this cut, cuts to nonessential govt programs and personel, less foriegn aid, and more state rights. so yeah we are okay with this. but dont worry libs have already found ways to waste this savings on other pet projects.

      The wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq were both optional and non essential and if one is serious about saving money,the logical thing to do is pullout of both countries as we're morally obligated to do and stop the obscene carnage over there!!!

    This is a very big mistake, soon we will go to war and the planes are going to be needed, remember that next war is going to involve 3 or more countries

    Remember in 2015-ish I said it first here: When the Chinese field their J-20 stealth fighter this will be seen to have been a serious error in judgment.

    Also...I guess the USA isn't too concerned about the deal between Russia and India that was made in December 2010 to jointly develop and manufacture a new stealth fighter aircraft. Russia has already test flown their new 'fifth-generation' stealth fighter dubbed the "T-50" on 29 January, 2010. What Russia learned in the development of the T-50 will most likely be the basis for any new plans/developement of a stealth aircraft between Russia and India. The T-50 is planned to be in serial production by the year 2015
