Ours is not, but the partners in the program are. We have the luxury of being able to afford gold-plated fighters. Meanwhile, as I noted, Canada right now have a political storm brewing over their commitment to the F-35 program. Harper’s getting it with both barrels, not only over the cost and complexity of the program, but also over the failure to put fighter procurement up to a competitive bid.

No-bid, cost plus contracts = license to print money
