No more F-22s?

If this bill passes, I guess we can say goodbye to additional Raptors beyond the 183 authorized. Time for the Raptor lobby to get moving.. And just out of curiosity how come the F-35 isn’t being given the same attention or is it just a matter of time?:mad:

Common Sense Budget Act Charts New Course for US Economy
Washington, DC – As Congress debates the FY’08 budget, Congresswomen Barbara Lee and Lynn Woolsey this week introduced the Common Sense Budget Act, a measure that cuts government waste and reallocates the savings to returning veterans’ healthcare, public schools, health insurance for children, job training, energy independence, and deficit reduction

The bill, with 22 original co-sponsors and an endorsement by Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities, is the centerpiece of a growing movement lobbying for increased federal accountability and oversight, and the elimination of government waste, fraud and abuse.

The two-pronged legislation cancels weapons programs developed for Cold War era conflicts, such as excessive nuclear weapons, the unproven ballistic missile defense system, and the controversial F-22 fighter jet, and redirects the $60 billion dollar savings to other top-priority programs facing funding shortfalls.
