All that are gigantic cuts. These years were suppose to show 200+ F-35s being built per year. That is a lot of lost money for the rent-seekers. Something many in the model-airplane-glue sniffing brigade fail to understand.

The overall document is fear-mongering. Interesting is that when you look at the budget dollars, most of the DOD budget is not being cut.

It is being increased.

Much of that wasted on dud weapon systems, dud programs and 900-some flag-ranks.
