Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez directly confronted this military contractor for taking huge profit margins at the expense of American taxpayers.

In US news, self-described Democratic socialist Rep Alexandria Ocasio Cortez stood up to a military contractor from the Transdigm Group over tax dollars wasted funding his company. Like her challenges to big pharma before this, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, green new deal proponent, argued for the American taxpayers and proper use of our tax dollars. If you've come to see Ocasio-Cortez dancing around the hard issues, you're in the wrong place.

s0fa there are some rather significant details missing here as far as numbers go. Such as, what is the R&D history up to beta testing, what is it FOR?, will it cost lives if it fails. I’ve worked on aircraft support equipment in the Air Force and a .19 cent part failing can mean an aircraft couldn’t take off right now. There’s a story behind everything like the navy paying thousands of dollars for a toilet seat. That specific seat was a test run for a one off plastic material, if the material held up to submarine conditions it could be applied to other instrumentation on the sub. Yes they gave money back but will a cheap part fail in the worst situation possible? When you absolutely know the track record of proven parts they actually are worth their weight in gold.

Which is by the way only possible, because governments give patents and allow for limited form of monopoly to exist (e.g. Google's search engine). That's why we have anti-trust laws. In a truely competitive market companies compete by lowering their prices and usually ends up by pricing at double its cost.

Warren Pacholzuk On the surface $1,000 for a part that looks like a similar part that Autozone might sell for $32 would be criminal. Government contractors are held to a higher standard than a company that just sells to the public. Their facilities often have to pay federal inspectors that are assigned full time to the factory. Third party testing companies often must be hired to put parts through rigorous inspections. They must carry higher than normal levels of insurance and bonds. The paperwork and documentation necessary is enormous and expensive. In the early years of my career I worked for an independent testing company that ensured products the government bought met exacting standards. We tested rubber bands...rubber bands used in clerical situations, not something that was going to be used on the space shuttle, these were in an office holding rolled up papers. We also tested fuel pumps for F-16 fighter jets to make sure they lasted a minimum number of hours and while in any position. That’s just a few of the reasons there isn’t as much competition amongst contractors and suppliers.

College campuses are larger than schools and have expensive equipment. Lecturers are also paid much higher than highscool teachers(obviously, as they need higher qualifications) with some getting 6 figure salaries. These are only some of the reasons you shouldnt compare price of schools and colleges

That right there would be plenty of money for a public healthcare system. Keep it up AOC. You have my vote for president.

@Mary Wilson - Medicaid / Medicare is only a 1.5% slice of tax. Zero-tax nations such as Monaco could implement Medicare I.e. free hospitals and free medicines, via raising tax from 0% to 1.5%, over there. For people in the U.S. on a $100,000 per year income, paying 20% tax, it's the other 18.5% which is of more concern. For example... " How much tax goes to police and military? ", " Can we eventually make it optional, like I pay for my police and military? ".

AOC is out of context for this one. It is not the suppliers fault that the government purchased expensive parts. AOC should be questioning the person in charged of approving such purchased not the suppliers. Where is the accountability within the government? If the approver in cahoots with the supplier then action should be taken immediately.

Kawika Florida whether you are a supporter or not, wrong is wrong, and this country is going to continue on the same political path it’s been on, unless individuals on both sides of the aisle are willing to recognize when the other side gets it right. It’s time conservatives step up and support democratic issues they agree with AND VISA VERSA. the end game is to make this country better by unveiling corruption..... and this is a prime example of how the government isn’t working for the people.... period.... regardless of party lines or personal beliefs. So thank you for being big enough to step up and say that even though you don’t agree with her policies you agree with how she took on this issue.... we all need to be more open minded and listen to both sides so that we can formulate our own independent opinions
