Can you imagine these contractors who are used to viewing Governent deals as a blank check having to actually be worried about cutting cost?

Imagine the military we could build if reasonable profit margins were enforced on defense contractors?

Word. I used to work in supply for the military. The gobs of money I saw wasted before my eyes was mind-blowing. Especially compared to the standards my civilian job upholds for its logistics.

Yeah, Mr. Trump is not a fraud, not a plastic politician, he is unfiltered, he's not PC. He seems to say "frick it, this is what I think, if I hurt your feelings don't let your feelers hang out!"

That's why so many Americans like him and many more will grow to like him for not being a phony career politician.

if Trump wants to use his plane for presidential travel, he can foot the bill himself for the necessary security and performance upgrades. And I'm betting he won't have the balls to do that once he sees the price tag for it.

The 757 itself cost him 100 million in 2011. The Air Force One level security upgrades are likely worth north of 800 million to a billion.

Actually it's mandated that profit is limited to 10%.

Now if the Contractor is cooking the books, then that's outright fraud.
