Cost us? You are Brazilian correct, and not American, unless you too are a long running gimmick? furthermore the A-10 is old and slow...furthermore there were/are 3 variants of the F-35. One is conventional lift off, the next two were VLs (vertical liftoff), with the third being carrier based.
Possibly the neglect of a having a larger payload could have been due the specifications of having vertical liftoff.

 We never know  ...or US "United States".

The A-10 is old and slow, BUT, it is a flying f-ing tank. It is the one jet in our arsenal that is continually battle tested and always passes with flying colors. The ex fighter jockey generals rather have a faster jet with all the bells and whistles though, so do there friends at the DOD. But ask a guy on the ground what they want for support. An old ass jet that can empty 70 rounds of depleted uranium per second with pristine accuracy, or a brand new jet that can't even get off the ground.

all my fellow Marines (especially my Recon friend) were absolutley in love with th.e A10 for CAS.

Recon friend said there is nothing like laying on a mountaintop watching the a10 streak in overhead so low you think you could reach up and touch them, and watch and listen as that big cannon shredded the house with the afghanis standing in the windows with their AKs and RPGs totally unaware of the death swooping in on them.

he said tbat 30mm cannon will literally annihilate a house to the point that there is only small chunks of wood left, and each round hitting the ground is like a mini hand grenade explosion

amen...it was only a response to Brazil-Man.
Sometimes old Skool is better than new Skool. The question is how much does the A-10 have left in the tank?

Frontline had a good show on the showdown between Boeing with their X-32 and Lockheed Martin with their X-35.
