Here’s a dilemma: The F-35 Lockheed jet, an advanced fighter
jet, is years behind its development schedule and billions of dollars over
budget. One senator claims that part of
the problem is that the Defense Department wants more bells and whistles than
the plane actually needs; but the project won’t get killed outright because the
kinks are close to being worked out and, more importantly from a legislative
point of view, if they stop production, thousands of real and potential jobs
will be lost.
No word on what would happen to the jobs if they designed
something that actually worked and put that
into production.
