Look, I know that a lot of American Jobs and industry is at stake if you cut the defense budget. However, we never should have been putting that much money into weapons that kill people for freedom in the first place. If we spent the money that we did on education we would have the best schools and most educated people in the world. We have been spending over 50% of our proposed budgets on things that kill people for far too long now.
Also Boeing can still build the fighter jets, we just don't have to buy them and nothing is stopping Boeing from exporting their jets.
