The makers of the F-22 Raptor (some of whom live in Fort Worth) have written a letter to Barack Obama – and are circulating an Internet petition - to convince him and members of Congress to fund the air-superiority fighter. The one hook that they have is that this plane is a government program, versus banks, which shouldn’t be. I know that newspaper publishers could make a compelling argument for a bailout, saying that they play a crucial watchdog role over government. Heck, my friend who sells overhead cranes could make a compelling argument about the importance of the American manufacturing sector. Where does this stop?
