The cost of development and procurement is currently estimated at $323 billion, a number which continues to balloon (the most expensive defense project of all time, if wikipedia is to be believed). That's a thousand dollars per tax payer on average. It is appropriate that such a project should be heavily scrutinized, to shed light on whether we are getting a good multirole fighter out of the deal; it appears that we are not.
