the c-17 in the budget is the same plane that has been unwanted in other budgets. there may be others, but that one keeps showing up. no doubt in my mind the plane is made in an area where a long-time senator is from. the military may not want it, but it's wanted by the company who makes/sells them!

the c-130 was another unwanted...that is made in ga--former senator newt gingrich was a pusher of that one. so was nunn.
