I agree Sequestration will continue to suppress military expenditures under the current Administration. Even in a more dangerous world.
The F15SE and FA18ASH may be a logical fit to this though. Boeing is aggressively seeking to keep the FA18 line open. Why not negotiate a deal to upgrade, say 24 annually on the line. Lower cost than an F35.
The F22 line could be largely funded via international sales to The IAF, RAAF, and JDF.
The 'advanced' models of F-15 and the proposed Super Hornet configuration aren't 'lower cost' than the current LRIP F-35 aircraft, nor are they more capable aircraft.
The F-22A line is cost prohibitive to restart, the acquisition of that aircraft most probably is beyond the USA's reach and is most certainly beyond that of Australia, India (IAF? Really? Perhaps you meant the Israeli Air and Space Force?) and whilst the Japanese Air Self-Defence Force could perhaps afford it, there is the small matter of the aircraft never being allowed to be exported, to overcome before it could, you know, be exported...
Now there's only been about 7000 pages of debate about these issues on this forum, but I'm sure you can find a fresh argument...
