This government has said that it has no idea what the long-term costs are for the F-35. All of the reports produced by Congress, and right now all of the research done, confirmed this, that the costs right now are not under control. There are huge problems in the development of the aircraft, and nobody knows what the final cost is going to be. That's all I'm saying.
