We wouldn’t have the term white collar criminal if only “those” people committed fraud. Some govt contractor selling a hammer for 500 dollars is no better, and is probably worse, than someone getting foodstamps. [/quote]

Yeah, but my tax dollars are not being used to buy said $500 hammer. These leeches are using MY TAX DOLLARS! Get them off the Gov’t dole.

Sink or swim. Just like we used to do before there was a damn Gov’t program for everything. Survival of the fittest. [/quote]
So when the military buys those hammers whose money are they using?

I use to procure flight equipment assets in the military. I can assure you we didn’t pay $500 dollars for a hammer…

Now Now Pat, don’t judge a bad experience at the Wal-Mart Pharmacy and broad brush judgment
on ALL Wal-Mart Pharmacies because of it.
Your Mother was free to choose any other Pharmacy in the area even if she had to drive a little further
for her meds or whatever…'Fact was she didn’t check her script before she walked out the door because
of trust…trust no one, change locations, people aren’t the same everywhere.
She was unwise not checking product if you suggest to be wise in checking product before you walk the door.

If you get screwed in the butt by a triplet, don’t blame the other two guys.[/quote]

So when you get a prescription, you crack open the bottle and verify right there in front of the pharmacist? My ass. You pay, grab your bag and walk away just like everybody else.

You probably paid more. The United States military is horribly inefficient as the military is part of government. Government does not get things done in an efficient manner. It never has and never will.

Here’s a good example of the military’s brilliant planning and use of tax dollars:

The last pair of those I got are all blown out now after about the same amount of time.

Ummm my tax dollars. Which I gladly support using my taxes for the military, even if .000001% goes to overpriced purchases. As long as these indirect costs provide for our foreign policy, I support it.

Food stamps? Not so much.

Face it, they are leeches.

Those look like R&D to me.

Edit:

There’s also a big difference between a mutli million/multi billion dollar Pentagon program and the $200 flight suits I bought…

The flaw in your reasoning is thinking that your tax dollars are going to the military when they are actually going into the pockets of private citizens (e.g., contractors) who, by virtue of being private citizens are no different than those who you refer to as leeches. And what exactly do you mean by indirect costs? They come directly from you no matter where they end up.

Except contractors provide a good or a service for the money.

I don’t see the problem.

Walmart fucked up…people took advantage of it.

I lost my wallet in a Chic-fil-a bathroom last year. They took the money and left the wallet.

Should I have been shocked?

I was just glad they left the wallet and the credit cards.

You drop a dollar bill in front of a priest and you better look twice.

So don’t be mad about wasted tax dollars because eventually we may get something?

Hey don’t be mad about a 1.35 trillion F-35, eventually we may have something guys! At least we will have got a good. Are you this cavalier at a restaurant? Sure the meal was $100 and burnt, but at least we got something!

Very odd way to look at the situation. The government is inefficient.

1 group takes money and give nothing in return.

1 group is paid money to provide a good or service.

Completely different

How exactly should, in this case, the military develop new technology?

That’s a pretty odd way of looking at it. Is the restaurant developing a new way of grilling steak? No, no they aren’t…
