An argument could be made that while it was very expensive, it
probably ended up being less expensive.

Now, instead of eight years to bring a new airplane through
development to production, it takes twenty-eight years. And cost
overruns are so huge that we end up with the F-35 costing 1.5 TRILLION
dollars over the life of the program.

Oh well...
