Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson emerged from a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump Friday pledging to bring down the cost of the F-35 Lightning II and pledging to hire more than 1,800 additional workers at the Fort Worth plant.
[quote]We had the opportunity to talk to him about the F-35 program and I certainly share his views that we need to get the best capability to our men and women in uniform and we have to get it at the lowest possible price,” Hewson said outside the Trump Tower in Manhattan.

Is Trump the first one to call them on the cost overrun BS?
Really call them on it? Not just "express concern."

He didn't just call them out, he very publicly asked their direct competitor to bring him plans for a replacement

Jobs are good!
According to the article the plan to hire more people and reduce costs has been in the works before this meeting.

I thought you guys didn't like paying taxes. Guess who is going to pay the bill to a defense contractor?
Posted on 1/13/17 at 1:35 pm to bamarep
So they're hiring 1800 people with our tax dollars?

Its actually a lot of fun to watch you clowns try to spin this as something negative.
What about the fed payrolls that ballooned under fricknuts, those are paid with tax dollars.
Are those jobs bad too?

Hey you're the one spinning. I'm not defending Obama. How the frick do you save money by hiring 1800 people?

Fair point, but with no numbers released yet you automatically assume it's going to be a net loss.

I mean, there's no way to know whether he brought costs down. All we know is that LM will hire 800 people more than they originally anticipated. So how can he take credit for anything here? Where's the evidence (since that's become such a buzzword)?
