"Didn’t EDS profit big time from contracts with welfare departments across the United States?"

EDS was the early pioneer in using electronic processing for Medicare, Medicaid and other government programs going back to the mid 1960's. One of the few companies I dealt with at the time that delivered on their promises. I believe Perot sold EDS in the mid 80's so I guess he did not have a financial windfall from Slick Willie.

I believe it was Perot’s fellow Texan Lyndon Johnson that got fed ‘small business’ grants for Perot to develop government benefits processing, and then he got government contracts because he had the processing system. Pretty sweet deal.
