SENS WARREN, SHEEHY: Pentagon wastes billions with devastating repair rules. We’re working together to stop it
Fox News
Senators Warren, Sheehy back Secretary Driscoll's plan allowing equipment repairs, challenging contractor monopolies and enhancing military efficiency.
Every hour these servicemembers can’t fix their own weapons undermines their readiness to meet their assignments. Instead of working to help the military be ready for battle, these contractors are focused on squeezing out more revenue. Democrat Elizabeth Warren represents Massachusetts in the United States Senate.
That fine print means that every time something breaks, DoD must call the contractor, schedule a repair visit, and pay a hefty fee. For some contracts, the repairs are more profitable than the original sale – a dynamic that represents how years of broken bureaucracy has slowed our acquisition process and driven costs higher and higher.
