McCain says KC-46 costs unacceptable

U.S. Sen. John McCain has shoot a letter to the Pentagon asking about cost overruns in the Boeing KC-46 program.

“This is gravely wrong and creates an incentive, particularly on very large programs, for contractors to low-ball a contract knowing that the taxpayers will subsidize at least some of the overruns that will be needed to actually complete the work,” wrote McCain to Pentagon weapons buyer Ashton Carter.
