Will I have to work shifts? baclofen cost uk Nailing down the true cost of the Joint Strike Fighter is a maddening exercise as various stakeholders use different mathâalong with byzantine acronymsâto arrive at figures that serve their interests. According to the Government Accountability Office (G.A.O.), which is relatively independent, the price tag for each F-35 was supposed to be $81 million when the program began in October 2001. Since that time, the price per plane has basically doubled, to $161 million. Full-rate production of the F-35, which was supposed to start in 2012, will not start until 2019. The Joint Program Office, which oversees the project, disagrees with the G.A.O.âs assessment, arguing that it does not break out the F-35 by variant and does not take into account what they contend is a learning curve that will drive prices down over time. They say a more realistic figure is $120 million a copy, which will go down with each production batch. Critics, like Winslow Wheeler, from the Project on Government Oversight and a longtime G.A.O. official, argue the opposite: âThe true cost of the airplaneâwhen you cast aside all the bullshitâis $219 million or more a copy, and that number is likely to go up.â
