Weird how people bring this up, please remember the absurdity of Lebron James being a billionaire. He dribbles a ball, these people make state-of-the-art technology well ahead of anything we use.
that is wonderful news- meaning the pentagon can do the infrastructure and universal medical care-that will be real defence work
that is a lots of burrito for lunch

What all does General Dynamics produce? Lockheed Martin? Generating profits for shareholders and growing dividends/ producing value. We know the value Twitter complainers produce.

@CNN @nytimes @MSNBC @washingtonpost @HuffPost Utterly outrageous! This daylight robbery of American taxpayers by stealth!

@RBReich While the best offense is a good defense, spending on military to maintain superior armed forces is an important task for government, but there needs to be more oversight. What contractors charge the gov't for product & corporate compensation needs addressing & reducing.

Not making millions of dollars for nothing. Donate every penny I can spare and still feel guilty when I eat like this. After eating out of a tube for 2 months (cancer). Do these people have no souls?

How do you spend 86 million dollars in a single year ... besides buying an 86 million dollar house!

Please note that under U.S. tax law these "salaries" are completely tax deductible for each corporation that pays them. Its a loophole that Congress refuses to address. Also, the U.S. no longer utilizes the concept of a "bidding process" - there is only the appearance of one.
