Congress rejects jet engine funding against Inouye’s wishes after pouring $3 billion into project

Congress today rejected funding for a controversial jet engine that both the Pentagon and President Barrack Obama have indicated they do not want, despite strong support from defense chairman Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii). Previously, Congress had poured $3 billion into building a second engine for the Joint Strike Fighter, despite the fact that the military jet already has a working engine.
