It can't be a good thing for our government to export sensitive military manufacturing technology, as far as I'm concerned. Keep the manufacturing here...use our best judgement to sell the products abroad.
The manufacturers should be where it is cheapest. The sensitive items or components or techniques (which I know nothing about) can be added state side.
Every penny spent on the military is government consumption AKA waste. Now as much as ever we need less government spending, so if Boeing thinks its cheaper to build their tin cans in India, great. No problem. Build away.
BTW, that isn't what is happening here at all. everything I just said is hypothetical and only tangentially related to any story from the thread.

No. There is plenty of waste in defense spending, I'm sure. That is a different issue from the defense budget as a part of our national economy...it ain't all waste.
