There is waste on both sides. I happen to think most government contractors do, or try to do a good job. I think congress has a buy list that has nothing to do with what is needed and more to do with making sure their constituents get a piece of the pie

I don’t know how to fix this, I hope Donald Trump does. The one thing I think needs to be done away with is Davis Bacon.

It’s an ongoing theme with regards to many military programs. I experienced it first hand during my first 5 years working for a defense contractor after I graduated from university. Personally, I thought I would be making a contribution to my country’s armed forces through my work. But in those 5 years, nothing I worked on ever made it to the soldier. It was either cancelled or shelved. Most of these programs are treated like an old-fashioned ‘water pump’. Get $$$$ from government for program, spend it all, ooops we need more money, pump that handle again for more $$$$.

Boeing Chief Executive Dennis A. Muilenburg spoke with the president-elect on Tuesday, promising to work with the new administration and to keep the costs of the program down,

Of course he did since Boeing is stuck with the costs if it is canceled!!!

No more million dollar toilets just because we need a stronger military!

How much cooler would it be for the President to fly in a SST instead of a 747....

If Trump wants to get Boeing moving, he should rent an Airbus 380 for a couple of years. :)
