If the aircraft were built in "your" state, it was wasteful, irresponsible pork-barrel spending. Government funding unneeded employment only furthers the "nanny-state" entitlement attitude that is bringing this nation down.
If the aircraft were built in "my" state is was a economically sound program to increase employment and to further manufacturing capabilities. Putting good people to work is good for our nation.
All a matter of perspective.
