Today, Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) released a new issue brief, “The F-35 Does Not Need an Alternate Engine,” co-authored by CAGW President Tom Schatz and Director of Research Sean Kennedy, which details why the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) alternate engine should not be developed and how it is a waste of the taxpayers’ money.

Key Points: 
  • Today, Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) released a new issue brief, “The F-35 Does Not Need an Alternate Engine,” co-authored by CAGW President Tom Schatz and Director of Research Sean Kennedy, which details why the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) alternate engine should not be developed and how it is a waste of the taxpayers’ money.
  • Upgrading the existing engine would be far less costly, and the alternate engine is not compatible with all three versions of the JSF, making it illogical and particularly wasteful to fund its development.
  • Questions have also been raised about pilot safety if the alternate engine is deployed, and any alleged harm to the industrial base from using a sole-source engine is overblown.
  • This issue brief is part of CAGW’s and CCAGW’s multi-faceted effort to stop members of Congress from unnecessarily wasting billions of dollars on the duplicative and unnecessary alternate engine.”
    Citizens Against Government Waste is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating waste, fraud, mismanagement, and abuse in government.

  • For more than two decades, Porker of the Month is a dubious honor given to lawmakers and government officials who have shown a blatant disregard for the taxpayers.
