Say Goodbye To The F-22 Fighter Jet
- No Related Post
The United States Senate today finally made the bold move of halting the production of the F22 Raptor fighter plane. Voting 58-40 against the seven piece expansion to their massive fleet, producing more would cost the American government over $1.75 billion to create.
President Barack Obama happened to agree with seizing the production of these planes saying “At a time when we’re fighting two wars and facing a serious deficit, this would have been an inexcusable waste of money”.
Later this week another bill will be heading to the senate for 680.4 billion to be spent on the Defense Department during the Fiscal year of 2010. $369 million of these tax dollars will be spent on 12 brand new F35 fighter jets.

This is COMPLETELY FALLACIOUS!
They did not pull the F-22, they merely cancelled an EXPANDED ORDER FOR 7 ADDITIONAL JETS.
Please do a little research before writing ’sky is falling’ style posts.

Did you actually read the post? Nowhere in the post does it say that they pulled the jets.
“Voting 58-40 against the seven piece expansion to their massive fleet, ”
“halting the production of the F22 Raptor fighter plane”
It’s recommended that you read the post before making uneducated comments.

They are putting national security at risk and not thinking about the people of this country. Instead the government is giving money to people who have never worked a day in there life.
And its All because of President Barrack Obama.
