6. I don't really have an issue with spending on defense

I think we need to do a lot less of it, but calling out these random contracts seems a little counter-productive.

Most of my issue with military/defense spending has to do with waste and cost overruns, which seem to be part of the majority of defense contracts. If the feds award company (x) with (y) dollars then company (x) should provide the service/product it is contract to provide and they should do it for (y) dollars or less.

I remember an talking with a pretty high ranking Air Force officer when I was stationed at McDill AFB. We were talking about the difference between spending in the different services and why the Air Force had (has) in general, a higher standard of living than other service branches. The offer said "if the government gave the army 500 million dollars to buy tanks, the army would buy 500 million dollars in tanks. If the government gave the Air Froce 500 million to build new runways, they'd spend 250 million on new enlisted housing then tell the government they needed another 250 million to build the runways...and they'd get it, because the air force needs runways."

I ask him if he thought that was fraudlent and he said "of course, but it's the way contractors do business."
