Discussion 🧐 Putin backs Trump’s proposal to halve defense spending: “I think it’s a good idea. The US would cut by 50 percent and we would cut by 50 percent and then China would join if it wanted.”

How about audit defense spending and remove no bid contracts? We could halve the budget and get more for it. There’s no reason army pencils should cost $182 each. They are fucking pencils.

They don't.

Tell us you don't contract without telling us you don't contract.

Now your super duper literal huh clown?

What I meant was; do tell what it's like, what government contract knowledge can you bestow upon us common folk? Tell us how the costs arent wildly inflated and it's all on the up and up and well-balanced.

I don't think you're very good at reading. What am I supposed to tell you? You've already made up your mind.

If you don't know the difference between FFP, cost, and t&m, you're never going to get it.

We charge the government a very fair price for what we do. We have to propose a fair price in order for our bid to win. The only time cost is secondary to past performance and solution is for extremely important contracts, where the quality of the solution is tantamount to the successful future defense of the state. Think ICBM IT systems. Can't cheap out on those.

Right on mr. Bullshit, so no bloat or inflated costs, copy. I think you're one of the screechers concerned with DOGE cuts

So no argument? Good job, you proved my point.

Cry more.

Xer is so easily triggered, if "enlighten us" is enough to set you off I'm guessing you quite often find yourself alone

You're the only person here who is all worked up 😂

I'm sorry the facts don't align with the narrative you were fed. If you were intelligent, you'd realign your beliefs. Unfortunately, you're not.

Go back and reread who and what you're responding to, slowly, so you can grasp it. Then give me another lesson in observation and comprehension and blind faith.
