Jill’s Take:The F35 Engine is not needed…why make it?
So we need to spend money on weapon systems we don't need?
The engine battle pits Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates – who say the engine would waste almost $3 billion over the next few years – against GOP leaders like House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, whose state is a chief beneficiary. The spending measure includes $450 million for the engine, which would be built by the General Electric Co. and Rolls-Royce in Ohio, Indiana and other states.
