The leadership of these contractors should all go to jail and these companies should be nationalized.

They should be sounding alarms! IF this is and or has been occurring as reported, this is tantamount to economic warfare waged against the American government by the industrial arms contractors complex. These contractors should not be able extort the American government. This is a large part of why its so difficult to have budget discussions. We should look at all the legal tools we have to fix this quick, especially the tools the executive branch has. My guess is they are already all over this.

Who's on their board's Who are the contractors!!. Ex politicians? This needs to be in the news.
-
Why aren't those people criminally prosecuted for theft, which it obviously is?

On September 10, 2001, then U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld disclosed that his department was unable to account for roughly $2.3 trillion worth of transactions.

I worked at Worthington Pump co. One 4LR10, a bronze fire pump designed in the 30s cost $2300 for any cargo ship. Sold to the US Navy, they charged over $10,000. Only the paint color had changed.

Thanks 60 minutes. These days we REALLY need investigative reporting. 🙏

I work in the hydraulic industry and was in the Army National Guard. AAI was charging $109 for a flair nut that cost $0.87.

Thank you 60 Minutes for doing this! Being a government watchdog is one of your most important jobs as journalists. Please do a follow-up, don't let them off the hook

I was scammed out of $5000 and Bank of America didn’t do anything else but blame me. Funny thing is that the bank allowed me to get scammed by clearing a fraudulent check until it was later identified as a fraud.
-
No one is surprised about the price gouging by the military contractors. More protection and education for seniors against scams.
-
We need a consumer protection act that prevents companies from blocking repairs, with holding information for repair, or making changes to a product for people who have already purchased it.

One of every two Federal tax dollars is spent on the military industrial complex. Spending 30 percent less would have huge positive impacts for the economy and the value of the dollar.

Meanwhile the IRS is hiring 20,000 new employees to catch middleclass taxpayers from shorting them $50
-
The DoD has been overpaying for YEARS. When I was on active duty, my team identified significant prices differences between the SAME exact item and was told that our particular item was SPECIAL because of the system that it was in. Remember, the toilet seats. Remember, the hammers.
-
This has been going on forever!
-
They call it "defense" contractors. More like war machine mafia.
-
My parents were called by a supposed “attorney” telling them that I had rear-ended a car driven by a pregnant woman. The money was apparently needed for my bail. They got tunnel vision, and my father ran to the bank. Fortunately our banker called me and I was indeed home with my car in the garage unscratched. Thank god for her.
-
Our defense department has been gouged to death for years. Fix this garbage and use the money to help our people with healthcare, college, and childcare

I'm disabled. I had a cousin offer to help when my parents died. My brother and I signed on the cousin as POA to take care of the estate, because we both lived out of state, and the cousin lived close to my parents home/estate. She spent over $250,000 took over the home, and bought a new car. There is NO recourse. Sick system.
