Returning to the theme of wasteful spending on defense contracts, Boeing and General Dynamics want to collect $1.35 billion (plus interest) on a contract to built 8 planes for $4.4 billion that they never delivered because the contract was terminated for default.

So the Navy doesn't get its planes, but needs to pay $3 billion anyway? Some very interesting contracting going on there.
