I thought our new $2,800 fridge was expensive.

No it’s not......you can bet he had a hand in refusing this....if you read the article you note the White House determined to cancel this and restart because ONLY Boeing had submitted as a sole-source contract and hit restart on this process,”

Maybe it was countertop depth. Those cost more. The smaller refrigerator costs more than the larger refrigerator. Figure that one out.

They are building two identical Planes.

That makes it only $12,000,000 each. A deal if I ever saw one.

Good call.

Trump has good people looking at the books.

I can see the moonbat media now making fun of it.

Always the shrewd business man. How long as it been since we’ve had a CEO in charge, not a career politician?

When you’re seven miles up in the air, you should be more concerned about heating your food than about keeping it cool.

I'd be happy to take over the contract for $15 or $20 million - I'll show up with a truckload of these and some Igloo's, too.

Whoever submitted the $24 million “bid” should be charged with fraud.

That’ll put a stop to excessive overcharging, real quick.

Boeing should be shamed for for their outrageous bid on the refrigerators replacement. Or at least it sure appears to be the case. Open the bidding up, someone will do it for far less.

Well if they apply for energy efficiency rebates they will only cost us taxpayers $23,999,000.
So I say they go ahead as it will save us $1,000. Makes good fiscal sense.

Nah...I figure Trump’s just had it with contractors bidding these ridiculous prices. I have a family member that has to work with these gov. contractors bids....he says now that Trumps in charge and ‘changed the rules’ they’re going to be able to save the taxpayer billions in over charged fees. Before they couldn’t do their jobs and get the best deals.
