Poor Boeing...

The contract they negotiated with Trump is costing them...why?

Boeing’s deal for Air Force One, which was cut by then-CEO Dennis Muilenburg requires the company, not the federal government, to eat the costs of any overruns on the contract.

So, what we really should have done, as taxpayers, is eat the horseshit "overruns" that are par for the course with government deals like this, right everyone?

Give me a break...tough shit Boeing...do a better job and you won't have to eat so many overruns.

This is how ALL Fed contracts should be...but it seems like everyone is blaming TRUMP over this?

The companies need those overruns to pay off the politicians for giving them the jobs in the first place.

In other words, they wash each other's backs. Nice racket at the taxpayers' expense. Even the mafia could learn from our government.

Trump should get the blame. He is guilty of rocking the boat and of ignorance of the reality that the rules of doing business in the real world don't carry over into the Alice in Wonderland world of government.

Boeing is famous for moving into locations where they get a major tax break, staying for the duration of the tax break and then looking for the next sucker city. I have no sympathy for Boeing at all.
