Quote of the Day: Sen. Carl Levin on Missile Defense Edition

“These contractual mistakes and screwups happen far too often,” Senator Levin said in an interview that addressed the [ground based midcourse defense] test failures and construction issues in Alaska. “Taxpayers are pissed off and we’re pissed off.“

Sen. Carl Levin, August 3, 2011.  Unfortunately the Bloomberg Government story from which the quote is taken is subscription only.  It’s a stellar read.
