Unfortunately companies like Boeing will never have to put aside savings or actually work on being competitive because they're too big to fail. They'll get bailouts every time and politicians will continue to back them because the jobs the company creates in their homes-states by starting overfunded and unnecessary projects makes them look good.

Lockheed Martin is a great example with their F-35 that used tactics just like that to make us never want to quit funding while knowing what a waste of money it is. Boeing lost that deal by very slim margins when the Pentagon picked the design by LM.

It's not our fault they just kept buying their own girl scout cookies instead of selling them.
