WIN!

I don't see the big deal, with the F-35 being a just as capable and in some respects much more advanced fighter then the F-22. The F-22 would have been a waste, since it's a fix to a problem that does not and will not exist for the foreseeable future, the theoretical problem being air-to-air combat against technologically advanced adversaries. With any possible foe being far behind even the current US arsenal, this is a surprisingly responsible move by congress.

And those who say that congress is throwing away national security for healthcare, I guess you didn't catch the increase of orders for F-35's to 3500 planes by 2020. And the F-35 program will more then make up for the jobs lost on the F-22 project, which was already multiple times above budget.
