Default Defense Spending

http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/index....6215160340.xml

Notice that the V-22 is now up to $105 mil per unit and the F-22 at
over $280 mil per unit- compared to $81 mil per F-35. I wonder how
"supportive" the F-22 crowd will be when the unit cost exceeds $300
mil, reducing the total to a useless number? No matter how they try to
sell the aircraft now: F-22, F/A-22, FB-22... it has no worth and
cannot hope to replace the aircraft it was intended to.
Both the V-22 and F-22 programs need axed immediately.
