it's the McDonnell Douglas's, the Pratt and Whitneys etc that are the jobs programs. These are the same corporations that bitch and moan every couple of years that the States just aren't business friendly enough so they move the Oh so vital programs out of State and often out of country.
You want to see what happens to a city after a base closes you have to only look at a city like Plattsburg NY. It used to be thriving, now not so much. The bases provide a completely different form of economic engine. The bases and their economic wishes couldn't care less what fighter they happen to be flying or what engine happens to be on that fighter.
