Raytheon Rip-Off

Let's get you started with a good one as you open that foreclosure notice, pump the gas up your own ass (might as well; it is an appropriate analogy), and starve yourself while banks get bailed out with YOUR MONEY!

Oh, yeah, and you are still funding obscene wars, too!!!!

Enjoy this with your bowl-of-shit MSM breakfast, readers!


"Navy cuts Raytheon weapon"

"After more than a decade of research and $600 million spent, the Navy said yesterday it will cut off funding for a long-range naval weapon designed by Raytheon Co. that has repeatedly failed to perform as advertised in field tests, according to Navy and company officials....

The estimated cost of the program also skyrocketed. By 2005, the GAO had estimated that the project had cost nearly $600 million, a more than 50 percent increase from the 1997 estimate. Each projectile, meanwhile, was estimated to have grown in price from $45,000 to $191,000...."

Takes you back to the $6,000 hammers and $8,000 dollar toilet seats (or whatever), doesn't it?

That's how you end up missing $3 TRILLION dollars -- another convenient fact washed away in the "shocking" aftermath of 9/11!!!!

You know, if the government is going to toss away this kind of $$$ and let itself be defrauded, I wanna know where is my check is??
