It isn't the number, it is the amount going to no bid contracts. Soldiers in the US complain about this, as they should. They get non-working body armor, and the contractors who sit on their fat pasty asses while torturing people, fucking up their security contracts and shooting civilians, get a confirmed 80 billion in PROFIT for the top 10 of them. Not revenue, PROFIT. You should see the houses these motherfuckers build in DC. They are thinking about cutting soldiers benefits, yet these contractor scum have a top salary of $726,000, and they collect that not through results and customer service, but at the point of a gun. How is the new plane working out, for $1.6 Trillion?
