F-35 Controversy Rages On

Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW)—a U.S. nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating the waste, fraud, mismanagement, and abuse with which the United States’ federal government is demonstrably rife—has released a new brief titled The F-35 Does Not Need an Alternate Engine. The work was co-authored by CAGW president Tom Schatz and Director of Research Sean Kennedy. The brief presents compelling evidence contradicting the assertions of numerous Capitol Hill lawmakers maintaining collectively that the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) is in need of an alternate engine. Messrs. Schatz and Kennedy contend such and undertaking occasions a waste of taxpayers’ money.
