See how much you pay for this: The Pentagon doesn't want an alternate engine for the F-35 fighter; they've tried to terminate the program since fiscal 2007. Congress has continued to fund the program over Pentagon and administration objections. Obama threatened a veto in 2009, but Congress still added more funds for an alternative engine. The fiscal 2010 Defense spending bill included $465 million for an alternative F-35 engine. The FY2010 defense appropriations bill (signed by Obama on Dec. 19, 2009) included $430 million to continue alternate engine development and appropriated $35 million for alternate engine procurement. Fox News has a handy calculator - just enter your gross annual income. Other spendy bills you can do this with can be found on the right sidebar.
