Waltz: How much do you think the Air Force pays for this bag of bushings? Sec. Kendall: I don't know. Waltz: $90,000.
@DailyCaller I thought he was going to say something insane like $1200...to say i was surprised is a bit of an understatement.
@DailyCaller $89,980 gets siphoned into Air Force black budget items that get no oversight.
Basically, you're paying prolly 5k for material, another 5k in machining....that remaining money is to pay for all the paperwork to make it "compliant". I used to work at a machine shop that made connectors. Then I worked at Northrop Grumman where we bought them at a 400% markup. Good times.
@DailyCaller He’s not showing the stack of regulatory compliance paperwork and regulatory specialists required to procure those parts. DoD and Congress do this 💩 to themselves.
@DailyCaller Sounds like the government at work. It is so easy to piss away other peoples money.
@DailyCaller Responding to "I don't know" with *throws $90k bag of bushings at person* would have been a much better way to get the point across.
@DailyCaller "Don't steal, government hates competition"
@DailyCaller I need to find me a couple of those bag laying around. I’ll even sell at half price.
