What was it Eisenhower said about the "Military Industrial Complex"??
This p!sses me off more than the Wall Street bonuses, and I was really angered by those!
Time to go back and audit each and every one of these contracts, especially the cost plus ones, because we could probably fund universal healthcare for months from the overpayments!
PEACE
what is going on with this country?!
Wall St Guys screw up the entire economy and get bonuses, these guys do faulty work ending up with our soldier dying and they get bonuses...
Joe Schmoe gets 3 years for having pot, while Cheney, etc commit war crimes are (most likely) going to walk free (and with millions of dollars to boot).
oh, and people like Sarah Palin get book deals, Bristol Palin gets famous and who knows how much money ($300k possibly?) from People Magazine, Octomom is able to afford a $500k house despite having no income...ugh!
And we're surprised because.......?????
