During a six-month investigation into price gouging, 60 Minutes discovered that military contractors charge the Pentagon excessively for almost everything the Department of Defense purchases.

Help me get to Congress so I can work to save Social Security and Medicare and finally stand up to corporations that pillage taxpayer money.
