Bingo. Although I am one to generally scoff at jobs programs, if it's going to be done, this is how you do it. VERY expensive jobs programs such as the F-35 shuffle large amounts of cash around, and make it appear that the economy overall is healthy and growing, which it is, but it all relies on program success. The F-35 is a long way from being successful. It's not impossible, but it becomes more unlikely with each problem. That being said, the F-35 program was most likely never meant to be a jobs program. It just turned out that way as funding ballooned (probably after some very successful lobbying).
