I beg to differ. There is another potentially cheaper and quicker fix. The issue is that the historic military aircraft that were developed with public moneys are being claimed as the private property of Lockheed Martin and other military contractors. The question of fact is the ownership of this intellectual property. The American people paid for it and should own the rights to what they paid for. Congress can, and should, fix this with the stroke of a pen. Write to your congressmen and senators making this argument. How can they possibly oppose it?
Meanwhile, leave Gordy and the rest of us alone.
