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.

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?
 
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.
