THE PRICE OF WASHERS IN WASHINGTON!!!

C&D Distributors, a small company in Lexington S. Carolina, which is operated by 2 sisters, has apparently collected at least $20.5 MILLION dollars from the Pentagon in the last 6 years for fraudulent shipping charges.

For Example:
The company billed the Pentagon and was paid $455,009 to ship 3 machine screws which cost $1.31 each to Marines in Habbaniyah Iraq.

And $293,451 to ship an 89-cent split washer to Patrick Air Force Base in Cape Canaveral Florida.

And $969,000 to ship 2 small 19-cent washers to a military base in Texas.
And before that the company charged and was paid $999,798 to ship 2 other small washers to Fort Bliss, Texas.

Etc....etc....all paid with YOUR tax dollars by the way!!!

But the Pentagon FINALLY caught on....better late than never I guess!
So now one of the sisters has killed herself due to all the "pressure" of the investigation.
The other sister is blaming her dead sister for the crime, while she faces 20 years in prison and the government plans to make her pay back $7 million.

The majority, if not all of these parts, were going to high-priority, conflict areas and if the item was earmarked "priority" (destined for the military in Iraq, Afghanistan or certain other locations) then it was usually paid automatically with no oversight, Cynthia Stroot, a Pentagon investigator says.

NOW YOU KNOW ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE WAR IS COSTING US SO MUCH!!!!
