Social Recent Military audit reveals Boeing overcharged Government 8000% for Soap Dispensers

[Rhood]

Pentagon audit released this week found Boeing overcharged the Air Force for spare parts on cargo planes, including an increase on the price for lavatory soap dispensers by nearly 8,000 percent.

The Pentagon's inspector general on Tuesday said the audit showed the company overcharged the Air Force by nearly $1 million for different parts for C-17 cargo planes. Among the C-17 parts singled out in the report were soap dispensers, which the Air Force reportedly overpaid for by $149,072. This amount for the undisclosed amount of dispensers came due to an alleged 8,000 percent markup.

My guess is that this is just money laundering and that both parties are aware of it.

DoD budget 2024: $841 billion

Would probably be closer to $200 billion.

Capitalism. Boeing can charge what ever they want so long as the buyer is willing to pay it. The question should be who in the military approved that invoice?

Money laundering was my first thought upon reading the OP.

 

[Dalarna3]

Boeing is a fucking mess

This is what I keep telling you guys

8000% means that people in government are getting money under the table

People that work in government AT BEST, are lazy and just waiting for their pensions to kick in

People that work in government AT WORST are doing shit like this.

This is why we can never afford free healthcare. We have 20 million government workers in this country that are milking taxpayer money.

if you raise taxes, you're only making these guys even richer.

Or someone high ranking his hooking Boeing up so he gets a job when he retires. It’s not common but it’s not exactly rare either

 

[ShadowRun]

Reminds me of that million dollar toilet, the wasteful spending just goes uncheck.

 

[Phisher]

Elon is gonna fix this shit.

LOL Elon is an even bigger parasite on the taxpayer.

Also, his entire plan is to fire government workers and let even more corrupt private contractors (like himself) fill the gap.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Boeing over charges us for everything my guy. But that's as much the CGs fault as it is ours. They always sign and agree to the dumbest contracts possible. Been like that forever

Not hard to transition from the air wing to Boeing. Especially as a high ranking pilot or MO
