After Northrop WON the contract in the USAF tanker replacement program after Boeing's ridiculous proposal that would have ended up costing the tax payers, government, and USAF billions and made a few individuals, including the two senators they have in their pocket, hundreds of millions of dollars each, the government decided that that wasn't ok, and changed the scope of the contract after the fact in Boeing's favor, and took away the winning bid from Northrop. Get ready for a $35 billion assraping!
edit- Oh wait! $35 billion was the CHEAP bid Northrop won! Now that there are no other bidders for the contract and Boeing will get it, can't wait to see what that number turns into!
