"I'm furious about Congress wanting to approve additional airplanes over what is being asked for - have you seen this story in the past couple days? I definitely have to start writing my Congressmen on this one. Yes, it's a small part of the budget overall, but it adds up."

yeah, obama wants to cut the f-22 for the navy, but wants to give the air force a plane they don't want. i haven't read the details, but i'd venture a guess they're made by two different contractors, and a senator wants the latter for his contractor....

I am talking about the airplanes Congress is getting for themselves - for taxpayer funded travel of Congressmen.

Yes, the F-22 should be cut, the Navy doesn't even want it.

i just looked up about the f-22...it was for the air force, not the navy. they're looking to move to the f-35 soon anyway. but i found it interesting that gates said they needed the money saved for the wars in iraq and afganistan. but i thought we were getting out of iraq?
