Op-Eds and Letters

Rep. John B. Larson wrote the following op-ed that appeared in Aviation Week:

Over the past year, the public debate on how best to modernize the F-35’s propulsion system has dragged on. We have heard from the military services, the partners and the contractors—no shortage of analyses have looked closely at the potential pathways ahead, which will have major implications for the entire program. The facts and data are clear. It is time for us to modernize the F-35’s existing engine, the F135, and dispel the notion of a second engine once again.

In a time of crisis, the United States has always come together! We are now in the midst of a war! We are fighting a common enemy that gives no quarter and that attacks indiscriminately. It cares not if you are Republican or Democrat. Our enemy is COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented health and economic crisis. More than 150,000 Americans have been killed by this disease. At its peak, 42 million Americans were unemployed. Now we’re facing a new crisis. Five million Americans could see a drastic cut in their Social Security benefits as a direct result of the COVID-19-induced economic downturn. Due to a quirk in the benefit formula, those born in 1960 are at risk of a permanent reduction in their benefits that could be as much as $2,000 per year.
