Government contracting is a fucking racket. Especially at federal level because the government is allowed to go over the contract budget by I think 25% so every fucking company that bids knows they are going to get that amount more than their bid.

Not only that, but because of how the procurement process works, they aren't going to rebid the contract if you mess up.

Contractors don't save the government any money. It privatizes government functions and makes a few people rich while taking away good jobs and benefits.
