up the waazoo for, how many of us want to pay our taxes? I'll give you a good example of our "leaders" spending...the pentagon is buying $20.00 plastic ice-cubes trays from a "Pentagon vendor"...in the spring of 2004, the Pentagon paid $1,000 each for hot plates, even though it had previously bought the same ones for $450.00...The Pentagon payed out $22,797.00 apiece for 34" refrigerators, more than $7,000 a foot.
The "Defense Logistics Agency" has initiated what it calls the prime vendor program, the Pentagon has been "encouraged" to buy from a cherry-picked group of manufacturers, this idea is to speed up delivery of goods to our miitary bases.
If you want to read more on this, find the February issue of Reader's Digest, page 148, article written by Sacha Zimmerman...personally, i find this very intriguing. Any thoughts out there?
