Here's the cynic in me.
I'm betting that there are limited funding increases in the first four years so if/when Trump is defeated they can throw this out.
The increase is nice, but this is hardly a crash program to end the rust out.
The intern fighter jet program has been shown to be a bad idea, start putting out feelers for an open competition for the 88 jets including the F-35 and let the best plane win. (Though I'm betting that the F-35 will still be the plane to beat.)
This is nice and all, but lets get the actual bench marks out there and understand what the increases year by year will look like.
