Business fails all the time usually does not result in seppuku. The problem with government bloat is the lack of death for the business, not its purveyors. The plane is not built by the government, but Lockheed Martin, a private company. If government cut funding a while ago, they would've stopped working on the plane.



To be clear, I was hyperbolically trying to make that exact point... I'm not truly suggesting death as an option.
