Something people dont take into account when the government puts out all these contracts and pays these companies to research all this stuff is that there is a 2nd reason for it all. The government knows that if a major war were to break out again, that we would need a massive industrial complex to wage it, think WW2. Us paying all these corporations this money is a sound defensive strategy if you think about it, because now if a war does break out our industrial complex is already built up

The program was maintained, and the planes flew right off the production line, right to the airplane graveyard in AZ. Surprisingly, the plane was built in pieces all across the top districts of the top Congress critters in procurement...
