How do you know its not the right way? Whats your expertise on jobs at Lockheed or Boeing?

How do you know that this will directly lead to 25,000 jobs lost in the USA? (They just say 25,000 jobs are affected, they didn't say all those jobs will be lost)

With some of the money being used, that money could provide more then $25,000 jobs. Plus, pretty sure those working at Lockheed will be a-ok (depending on position, I have a few friends working at Lockheed that make more then 97% of CP, and they are under 30 years old).

Also, from your article, it appears this money (or at least a portion) will be used in other parts of the military. Not that there's enough money used on the military anyways.
