It's high time we started cutting off some if these defense contractors whose projects are routinely WAY over budget and no where near the time line promised.
We have few on this forum who preach against government intervention in the free market, but how many companies with the track record of the defense industry would be able to survive? The ridiculous helicopter 1 project - flush that ***** down the drain, quit pouring good money after bad. The F-22, granted it's a cool plane, but where is the competition? There is none. I approve of Gates attempt to shift the defense budget toward the things the grunt on the ground needs to do his job, and so does John McCain, who last I checked had a pretty strong following with the republican party.
