The Pentagon says we don’t need any more F-22 fighters and President Obama has threatened to veto any defense appropriations bill that includes funding for more of them. However, the Appropriations Committee of both Houses put money in for more F-22’s. The Senate just had a vote on a Levin-McCain amendment to strip the funding. It passed.
It should be pretty easy to identify the states that play a part in building the F-22’s. There are no more offensive appropriations that those that are for weapons that we don’t need. But when Barbara Boxer is willing to vote for wasteful Pentagon spending to protect jobs in her state, you know how corrupted the system is.
