Citizens Against Government Waste has awarded the Boeing Corporation its first annual “Corporate Turkey of the Year Award“:
“Boeing won more than $22 billion in government contracts despite an amazing display of corporate misconduct, ethical improprieties and irresponsibility,” Schatz continued. “After improperly obtaining proprietary information from numerous competitors and even the Pentagon, Boeing continued to win sweetheart deals from the government and rip off taxpayers.”
Business as usual in Washington–taking responsibility out of corporate responsibility.
UPDATE: Fittingly, Boeing fired its CFO today. Why? For unethical conduct in the hiring one of the Air Force’s senior procurement officers.
The revolving door between government and industry continues to churn, with taxpayer money greasing the skids.
