McKinsey pulls the strings and siphons billions out of the Puerto Rico bankruptcy, ICE kids in cages, Space Force boondoggles and more. The US government pays $3m/year for a fresh-out-of-college McKinsey "consultant."

  Cutting Government Is Easy... If You Go After McKinsey
  from Matt Stoller
  Elon Musk engineered a panic over government spending, thwarting major PBM reform and bans on junk fees. But cutting government spending is easy, if you take on power. And therein lies the rub.
2. In the first Trump administration, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement not only used McKinsey extensively, it even hired McKinsey to write its own contract. During the bankruptcy of Puerto Rico, the firm helped ensure that the island spent at least $1.5 billion on professional services, aka consultants and lawyers, even as its internal hedge fund owned Puerto Rican bonds. It hasn’t gotten better under Biden. Earlier this year, McKinsey got a sole source contract to work for Space Force. And it sells an extremely expensive service for government; just one recent college graduate working at McKinsey is billed out at around $3 million a year.
