NASA Admits It Gave Jet Fuel Discounts To Google Execs' Company

Posted by timothy on from the only-tax-money-after-all dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In a letter to Senator Grassley of the Senate Judiciary Committee, NASA 'admits the agency was selling jet fuel at below market rates to H2-11, a company owned by the founders of Google.' The agency has since raised its rates to reflect market prices but has informed the Senator that it would be impossible for NASA to recoup the money that tax payers have paid in order to subsidize Google's jet fuel discounts."

    Thank God that Google has never given anyone anything at below cost and has in no way benefited this country, Senator. /portwineboy@gmail.com
