I took your 40 percent figure and did the math to back-calculate from a salary number I got for your particular county job a few years ago (a reasonable amount, by the way). I got about $195,000, so maybe your "40 percent" was a bit off. It isn't really relevant to this discussion.

"Conservative boondoggle?" The Joint Strike Fighter program was launched around 1993. Look up who was running things then. Hint: It wasn't Reagan or Newt. The idea to have one fighter kludged for all three services came from Les Aspin, Clinton's Secretary of Defense. Take it up with him.

This isn't about "party lines." It's about what's true or not, and small wonder you duck in panic away from any possible external evidence.
