The F-35 fighter is a stealth fighter jet being produced for the U.S. military by The Lockheed Martin corporation. Three variations of the single seat stealth fighter jet are being produced for the Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy. By 2037 2,457 F-35’s will be delivered to the military and will fly until they retire from service in 2070. The research, development and construction of the F-35 will be the most expensive military weapons program in the history of the U.S. When the F-35 retires in 2070 analysts estimate that the cost of the program will have exceeded $1.5 trillion.

@8ZVHZPZ3yrs3Y
Yes, but only until we stabilize our debt and government spending
@8ZSR5NL3yrs3Y
No, but find a way to adjust the budget, and the cost should be analyzed for waste.
@8YPV9GG3yrs3Y
Yes, the F-35 is a quagmire. Build more F-22s and look into next gen development.
@8ZNRGVZ3yrs3Y
nah its still a good jet
@926DM4T3yrs3Y
It's not necessary to stop production but maybe hold off on it for a bit to see if we need them.
@925VCCK3yrs3Y
Yes but don't spend as much money
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, until it gets cheaper to produce.
@MSelvig3yrs3Y
As previously stated, military spending should be scrutinized for waste, including this program. Having a modern and ready military is important, but not government waste; including in the military.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, until they get cheaper to build.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, until the software and material become cheaper to produce.
@9334YP33yrs3Y
Lockheed Martin should take the F-35 to the open market.
@92YT8JT3yrs3Y
Deleted3yrs3Y
I’m uneducated on this issue
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, But focus more on advancing our air capabilities
@8QDSNZY4yrs4Y
@8RBQDDP4yrs4Y
Yes, until the cost is further decreased
@925JCCX3yrs3Y
It might seem like a dangerous project
@8X3KQBN3yrs3Y
Yes, and the amount of funding it requires could be better used for other resources.
@Zivlar3yrs3Y
Reduce funding but not cancel.
@8Z54KCR3yrs3Y
Yes, until our national debt is drastically reduced.
@9284RDV3yrs3Y
Defund military productions and redirect funds to welfare programs
@92YHQCV3yrs3Y
No, but reduce (both) the (production, & the) funding of the F-35 fighter.
@8ZGPKM93yrs3Y
oh heck no that is a defense/attack jet that can break the sound barrier and also can carry 35000 pounds of bombs
@8QBSXX84yrs4Y
Yes, it is too costly and just as affective as other fighter pilots.
@IINXMP4yrs4Y
No, but we should purchase from private industries to decrease spending.
@8TVYZQL4yrs4Y
Yes, but research should be instituted in finding a cheaper way to gain an edge over foreign adversaries.
@38LNC724yrs4Y
No, because we have already started the program and would be wasteful to discontinue. But we should scale back the order if reasonable AND we should cut military spending and bloat.
@6HM8ZBP3yrs3Y
Maintain the program, but get the costs under control
@6Q2LC7Q3yrs3Y
No, but should divest funding to other military projects.
@6NZHT2D4yrs4Y
Whatever the military feels is best
@6Y6DTRD4yrs4Y
Yes. Most of the stealth activities can now be done with unmanned drones.
@77ZS2HX4yrs4Y
Yes, until we have drastically reduced our national deficit
@7KD4Z5Q3yrs3Y
Yes, until the national debt is significantly decreased
@RichardYRodgers4yrs4Y
No, but the government should dramatically reduce spending on no-bid, corporate contracts that bloat the nation's military budget
@78S5M875yrs5Y
We should make less war items to create a more peaceful world
@7Z659224yrs4Y
Yes, until the price has been lowered, our deficits have been drastically reduced, and its hardware is drastically improved.
@7X7M5874yrs4Y
Yes, but get the price lower
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, since it is now too far into production and service, but revise procurement procedures so that future programs do not go down the same path of financial mismanagement
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, the costs for the fighter jet program are severely out of control due to financial mismanagement
@86N5Z354yrs4Y
No, but find ways to make is less expensive
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, since the fighter jets are too far into production and service, but revise procurement procedures so that future programs do not go down the same path of financial mismanagement
@842VWLK4yrs4Y
yes, but only after we make and produce a better alternative
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, since it is too far into production and service, but revise procurement procedures so that future programs do not go down the same path of cost mismanagement
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, the fighter jet program is too far into production and service, but procurement procedures should be revised so that future programs do not go down the same path of financial mismanagement
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, the production costs for this fighter jet program are out of control and have been severely mismanaged financially since the beginning
@7PTCG383yrs3Y

@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, since it is now too far into production and service, but revise procurement procedures so that future programs do not go down the same path of mismanagement
@8DHN6KX4yrs4Y
The amount of money it takes should be reduced, but the project should be continued.

@8FK6RYT4yrs4Y
I think it's way too expensive and will put our country into further debt
@8G68CSZ4yrs4Y
No, but the number being produced should be limited until our national deficit is significantly reduced
@8QPG4TW4yrs4Y
I need more information to be able to form an opinion on this topic.
@8GTKMJY4yrs4Y
Yes, but have a large supply in hand in case of an emergency.
@owenfuckem4yrs4Y
Yes, along with the rest of the military-industrial complex.
@8HJ6ZY74yrs4Y
No opinion on the F35 specifically, but cut some military spending overall
@8HP3W4V4yrs4Y
No I don't think they should stop production but I think it should only be used in necessary situations
@8J6SQW44yrs4Y
Yes, until the cost is controlled.
@8L2DQDJ4yrs4Y
no but they should also be sold to the public if they can afford it
