Awesome Trump negotiating skills in action! Can't wait to see more cost cutting from POTUS.

In all seriousness though, the F-35 has cutting edge tech. So does HPC. The United States can't build the worlds most cutting edge supercomputer to benefit humanity (not even $1B invested), but we can sure as heck build something that kills people for 400x that. I'm not sure where our calculus went wrong, but somewhere things have gone horribly awry.
