The F-35 Disaster Continues

This is a large part of why the Pentagon, and not Social Security or Medicare is the single biggest drain on the country's resources.  Twenty-two years of design and development, and this plane is one of the most universally mistrusted and disliked (but very expensive) pieces of overpriced junk that the military-industrial complex keeps spewing out as long as there is an endless stream of tax dollars (or future tax dollars) coming in.

Remember, a few years ago the Pentagon threw up their hands collectively and admitted that they were not auditable by any financial standard, and wouldn't be until something like 2017.
