"The F-35 is succeeding brilliantly in its mission, though, which is to funnel taxpayer money to a nice fat cross section of the military-industrial complex."
And in one of its secondary missions, which is to generate hundreds of thousands of votes for many Reps. and Senators, spread across many Congressional districts and states - and both parties.
- dragonwriter 13y agoI don't think most of the widely-spread military projects are all that good at generating votes. Rather, I think that the threat of losing votes for "killing jobs in the district" is a good way of keeping members of Congress in line behind the projects.
