Nation "Too Broke" for Universal Healthcare to Spend $406 Billion on F-35

There always another $27 billion or lying around, it seems, when Lockheed Martin needs more money for expensive weapons system

The new cost increases may come as a hit to President Donald Trump, who has bragged about his ability to get weapons manufacturers to offer the Pentagon "better deals."

Rob Garver, national correspondent for the Fiscal Times, made the point this way:

just sayin.


Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson said that President Donald Trump "absolutely" made a difference in the savings and timelines for production of the fifth-generation fighter jet, the F-35 Lightning II.

"He helped accelerate that along, and I think he put a sharper focus on price and how we drive the price down," Hewson said in a media brief cited by DoD Buzz. "He absolutely did contribute to us getting to closure on that."

Trump originally criticized the program in December on Twitter, alleging "tremendous cost and cost overruns." The president's words sent Lockheed's shares tumbling 5% immediately after he tweeted.

The Pentagon's latest order includes 90 F-35s — 55 for the US and 35 for international partners — which is estimated to cost $8.5 billion, about a $728 million cost-reduction compared to the previous batch.

Trump has since given speeches where he took credit for the cuts in the F-35's price. "To save taxpayer dollars, I've already begun negotiating better contracts for the federal government, saving over $700 million on just one set of airplanes," said Trump during a National Republican Congressional Committee fundraising dinner on Tuesday night.
