Gonna be some very surprised "lowest bidders" when they find out they have gotten into a contract that expects them to do what they say they will do for the price they claimed it could be done. I'd wager most of the lowest bidders have political ties that assured them they would get the contract and be able to gouge us with all the delays and cost overruns.

Remember when Hillary was claiming he owed a lot of contractors a lot of money - I'd wager they reneged on what they contracted to do and he doesn't believe in rewarding such crap.

I wish that were the case. Casino developers here in New Jersey were notorious for building these ridiculous boondoggles filled with all kinds of excessive amenities to attract customers from other casinos, then going back later and strong-arming their vendors and contractors under the threat of a bankruptcy filing by the developer/owner.

Have you seen how much cash Boeing has blown through with the KC-46? They signed a firm fixed price contract and to date has had to eat over $1.25 billion in cost overruns.
