If the Pentagon decides to slash spending for the F-22 Raptor or F-35 Joint Strike Fighter programs, there would be a significant impact on the local economy, according to a Los Angeles newspaper.
See: Story in Daily Breeze.
Furthermore, if total prodution is reduced, the unit-cost of each fighter aircraft may actually increase, the story said.
Comment: If you support the F-22 and F-25, write your local Congressman and Senator. The F-22 and F-35 programs are essential for America's continued dominance of the air. Deep cuts have already been made in unit production. The F-22 has already been authorized for full-scale production, and changes this late in the process would be devastating.
The President should also take heed of what the Pentagon may be considering. And the Governor should understand that jobs are at stake.
The Pentagon is due to send Congress an official report in February of next year recommending budget expenditures and cuts in these and other programs.
Time is of the essence. Write your representative today.
