>The only difference between the F-35 program and the Fed's quantitative easing programs is that the F-35 program provided significant benefit to main street businesses and households.

You got that backwards, QE prevented (at least temporarily) a Depression, which would have impacted mainstreet businesses and households far more than whatever benefits they’ve gained from the F-35 have (nothing imho).

The jury is still out whether the Fed can unwind QE with a soft landing or not, but so far it’s been far more beneficial to Main Street than the F-35.
