Time to buy more Super Hornets?  Push for earlier production of
the Navy's version of JSF? Or something else?

Sure.
Unlike the F-22, the Super Hornet has an available export market where
they can be sold as F-35C production kicks in.

How noble, yet clueless. Disarm? We tried that last century. It lead to 
WW2. "****ing with other nations?" Well till they buid a Great Wall of 
the USA  and end all trade & travel, we have a interest in what goes on 
pass the 12 mile limit. If you wish to be a sheeple go ahead. But a 
disarmed sheeple winds up Dead, as a chop next to the mac & cheese.

Is it not a function of degree?  At present the US accounts for some 50% of 
ALL world military expenditure.  The question is whether the current force 
level is appropriate and whether it is not driving an opposing build program 
by others. A good example is the ABM system which, in part, is causing the 
Chinese to move from their historic "minimum" ICBM fleet (about 20) to an 
expansion including credible SLBM program.
