This is the part that makes it difficult to believe DC even wants the US to have a military. This same scenario has played out so many times with the same results that they can't possibly be so dumb as to think it won't happen again. B-2, Seawolf, Virginia, F-22, DDX (or DD/X or DD-21 or whatever the hell it is this week) to name a few. Thing is if they'd just quite medling with the funding Lockheed could have probably got the F-22's cost down to something reasonable. It's all the on again off again from year to year that drives the cost into the stratosphere. Can you imagine how much a house would cost if you pulled that kind of crap with the contractors?
