Not a bad ROI

I need some investment tips like that.

I've seen firms advertise on the web that they'll do advanced software from scratch for your business with applications for customers, inventory, you name it, and be talking in the neighborhood of 300 grand.

The scandal is that's the way government works. This company had someone stuff their pockets with about 289 million dollars profit at a cost of 290 million dollars.

That is fraud.

And it's the reason government costs so much. It's not a new idea. It's as old as county commissioners having Uncle Zeke's Blacktop Company pave roads at a double or triple the cost bid because of "quality". Everybody shares in splitting up the overpayment.
