And Congress authorized every dime.
From the knucklehead that burned down the Forrestal.....
If the defense contractor says they can deliver a unit for x amount of dollars, shouldn’t they be made to eat the cost overruns?
McCain has wasted far more than 4 billion in unconstitutional spending EVERY YEAR.
Mothball McCain in 2016.
Gee John you have been a Senator, how did you miss it all these years
It isn’t like McCain cheated on his first wife and kids with Cindy, then dumped her for Cindy.
It isn’t like he got the most money from Keating out of the Keating five, and Cranston was forced to resign for taking much less.
It isn’t like he sided with Vietnam against veterans groups and the families of our POWs.
It isn’t like he formed a corporation with the help of Soros, Terressa Heinz Kerry, and the Tides foundation, and hired in his campaign staff for six figure salaries.
It isn’t like Ted Kennedy was his bosom buddy.
It isn’t like he joined Ted to submit legislation that would have legalized all illegal aliens and granted them amnesty.
It isn’t like he joined other Democrats to defeat Bush policy and ram through unconstitutional campaign finance reform.
It isn’t like he advocated for and got our president to arm and fund the Muslim Brotherhood, al Qaeda, and possibly even elements of ISIS.
Oh wait, it’s exactly like all that. (and much much much more)
This is one guy that is as bad as it gets.
4.7 Billion shucks John Hillary misplaced 6 billion all by herself.
That $4.7 billion went into the pockets of workers and shopkeepers and stimulated the overall economy, thus it was money well spent. #thingsakeynsianwouldsay
Just wondering how much Juan wasted on arming terrorists
But $250m plus for an aircraft is acceptable.
McCain, sit down and zip it. You are quite knowledgeable about waste. You you managed to waste the votes of millions who might have voted for you. Any man in a fight who gives up and surrenders has come to terms with waste- up close and personal. This is on the backs of you and your congress critter friends for without you, it would have never occurred.
For example, when my parents were first married, the Navy was producing steel at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (and, I assume, at other shipbuilding locations around the country). This is the steel that built the USS Iowa and USS Missouri, among others.
Suppose the first two Ford class aircraft carriers are sunk on the first day of the upcoming war with China? Where is the steel produced to replace them?
In 1942-43, from a standing start, we launched over 50 aircraft carriers. They didn't take 14 years each to build.
The larger problem is cost-effectiveness - How many virtually invulnerable subs and cruise missiles can we build for this cost? What are the additional long-term costs for defending carriers from their vulnerabilities, and for maintenance?
You may never hear this question: Can we do without them?
Probably pure fantasy but I like to think if Trump got elected he’d take a look at cost issues in Fed. contracts and expose through public evisceration the worst offenders along the lines of $1000 screwdrivers, $2000 hammers, etc.
That’s OK.
Take $4.7 Billion from AFDC. That’s a complete waste of money, and unconstitutional.
He’s running for re-election. This is his standard MO. He takes a hard right turn until he gets re-elected. Then, he scampers back to the D side of the aisle.
They should have built more Nimitz' class because I think the shipyards had the process down to a science.
