This article says that the FY09 Defense Budget includes $1 B for the Stryker system. I am assuming that this means all types of funding, not just procurement. $1 B would buy a lot of Strykers, but this amount probably includes the Operations & Maintenance and any R&D funding for the program. As a good example of an article that highlights how important contracts are to an area it brags about the jobs “saved” by the budget. The local Congressman takes credit for the funding. One hopes that the DoD budgets based on need and requirements, not as a job program.
