Wow what a bargain that only comes to a little over $118 million dollars a plane.

That’s 503 $200,000 homes per plane.

I’d love to know how many members of our beloved Congress have large amounts of money invested in Lockheed. The F-35 is acknowledged to be one of the biggest if not the biggest boondoggle in the history of our Department of Defense… and that’s really saying something. The military industrial complex wins again. No different than Halliburton in Iraq ripping us off for a billion here and a billion there only this is Halliburton on steroids. Cheney probably has money invested in this fiasco too.

It’s this vile disgusting military industrial complex that Eisenhower and so many others warned us about, with Lockheed Martin right at the top, that keeps these corporate/political wars endless. We will never have peace and be free of these globalist tyrants until their criminal war machine and their thug corporate fronts like Lockheed are put out of business forever!
