Tales of waste, fraud and mayhem by private contractors have been commonplace during 10 years of military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now a Congressional study commission has put a “conservative” estimate on waste of between $31 billion and $60 billion in the $206 billion paid to contractors since the start of the two wars.

The waste was never an election issue thanks to a BS candidate like Rmoney and all the wasted time of focusing on matters that don't threaten our entire economy, like banking corruption, etc., etc., etc.
