I'm a huge fan of the F-22 but...
Frankly, our military is beyond bloated anyways. For the most part, they have still not learned to focus on items other than big ticket Cold War era systems. And when they do, they end up with astronomical costs ANYWAYS due to mission creep, contractors' gimmicks, and Congressional pork (read payola all the way around). It needs to be reigned in. This kind of spending is not sustainable in our debtor economy, especially when our military already eclipses every other by several magnitudes.

I think the Pacific Ocean and our own little stock pile of atomic weapons has us covered.
