    Boeing took the hint.

    Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!

    — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2016

    Boeing has decided, as NY Post reports, to donate $1 million to Trump's inauguration...

    "The donation is the exact same amount given by Boeing to the last inauguration, President Obama’s second in 2013.



    The Trump team plans to raise $75 million for the inaugural, which will be held Jan. 20 in Washington, DC.

    "And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"

    I am hearing conflicting reports as to whether they were over charging or not.

    Rush was talking about Boeing's long ties to the clinton crime family. Apparently they gave the foundation $900M, donated big to her campaign and paid slick willy for a bunch of speeches. So they are into the hag for nearly a billion. I'm sure they are just trying to recoup some of that. Too bad they are the only game in town for Air Force One. But this explains the comments made by President Trump.
    Face your fear, accept your war.

    I'm for contractors, but Donald Trump is right about this. There is a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse with a lot of federal contractors and it's actually very refreshing to see a Republican President willing to take them on. The government needs to do a better job at catching the fraud, waste, and abuse. Get rid of the bad/corrupt contractors, and keep the honest/clean contractors.
