$400 Billion F-35 grounded

DoD's entire fleet of latest whizbang fighter, the F-35, has been grounded due to cracked turbine blades. This comes on the heels of the F-22 having been discovered to have caused hypoxia in its pilots, rendering them useless at high altitudes and combat. And this follows a recent discovery that Congress wants to buy 280 additional M1 tanks, despite having several thousand on mothballs in the desert. And we're concerned about cutting the military budget?
