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.

No, the fighter jets are too far along in production and service readiness to be cancelled, even though funding for the program has been grossly mismanaged
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, production costs are out of control and have been grossly mismanaged. Continue to fly current fighter jet planes until a more cost efficient, closely managed military weapons program is developed
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, this fighter jet program is too exorbitant in overall costs and should cease. Resume production on the more cost effective F-22 fighter jets, which have proven to be successful
Deleted2yrs2Y
I’m uneducated on this issue
@93CS3TH2yrs2Y
Yes, but not until a weapon system is developed which actually delivers on its promises.
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
No, but reduce (both) the (production, & the) funding of the F-35 fighter.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Lockheed Martin should take the F-35 to the open market.
@92YT8JT2yrs2Y
No, but lower the costs
@CALibertarianLA2yrs2Y
Reduce funding but not cancel.
@MSelvig2yrs2Y
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.
@9284RDV2yrs2Y
Defund military productions and redirect funds to welfare programs
@8ZSR5NL2yrs2Y
No, but find a way to adjust the budget, and the cost should be analyzed for waste.
@926DM4T2yrs2Y
It's not necessary to stop production but maybe hold off on it for a bit to see if we need them.
@925VCCK2yrs2Y
Yes but don't spend as much money
@925JCCX2yrs2Y
It might seem like a dangerous project
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
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
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, the production costs for this fighter jet program are out of control and have been severely mismanaged financially since the beginning
@8ZVHZPZ2yrs2Y
Yes, but only until we stabilize our debt and government spending
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
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
@8ZRVN7J2yrs2Y
Too many military projects fail or are cancelled due to spending, and then the need is recongized again a year later for the process to repeat.
@8ZNRGVZ2yrs2Y
nah its still a good jet
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, the costs for the fighter jet program are severely out of control due to financial mismanagement
@8ZMLD8W2yrs2Y
spend less money but not cancel
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
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
@8ZGPKM92yrs2Y
oh heck no that is a defense/attack jet that can break the sound barrier and also can carry 35000 pounds of bombs
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, due to the exorbitant costs involved through mismanagement of funding
@8Z6PZKW2yrs2Y
That is for the military to decide
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, the fighter jet program is too far into production and service to retract the exorbitant costs and the mismanagement of funding
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, the fighter jet program is too far into production and service to retract the exorbitant costs and cost mismanagement
@8Z54KCR2yrs2Y
Yes, until our national debt is drastically reduced.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, the costs for this fighter jet program are exorbitant and funding has been greatly mismanaged
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, the funding and costs for this fighter jet program are exorbitant and have been greatly mismanaged
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, the costs and funding for this fighter jet program is exorbitant and has been extremely mismanaged
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, the costs for this fighter jet program have been extremely mismanaged
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, since it is now too far into production and service to be able to reverse cost mismanagement
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, since it is now too far into production and service
@8YPV9GG2yrs2Y
Yes, the F-35 is a quagmire. Build more F-22s and look into next gen development.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as cost management for this military weapons program is vastly out of control
@6HM8ZBP2yrs2Y
Maintain the program, but get the costs under control
@6Q2LC7Q2yrs2Y
No, but should divest funding to other military projects.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, since it is now too far into production and service, but revise procurement procedures so future programs do not go down the same path of mismanagement
@8Y2PBJR2yrs2Y
NO those jets are freaking awesome
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, the costs for the program have become too exorbitant due to gross mismanagement
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, due to gross mismanagement or the program's costs
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, due to gross mismanagement of costs for the fighter jet program
@8XPMK892yrs2Y
No, but stop future purchases.
@8XNT9ZQ2yrs2Y
No, not until they have something better to put into the air. The Military can't stand still as our adversaries are constantly innovating. Countries, like Taiwan, are counting on us for help.
@8XLR4JX2yrs2Y
Until the cost is drastically produced
@8XDYP8P2yrs2Y
Yes, the funding for it is too high, and we should be more focused on peaceful resolutions, and the money from that can go into more important things, like combating global warming, free health care, and free college.
@8X3KQBN2yrs2Y
Yes, and the amount of funding it requires could be better used for other resources.
