#1  and has used the money — called the “bishop’s fund” by some critics — to bolster mismanaged or underfunded military programs

Been playing that game for generations. Looting one fund to pay for the 'golden child' procurement programs. What was the original cost projection of the F35 and the number of airframes they expected to receive? What is it today? How much money has been diverted? Like maintenance and upkeep of the existing fleet? Or killing off the A-10 to find more money to cover the costs?
