EVeryone knows most government contractors gouge the government because they can. Trump has already set the tone....no more.
“EVeryone knows most government contractors gouge the government because they can.”
People ignorant of government contracting ‘know’ that.
There are VASTLY more rules on government contracts than other sorts of business dealings. A lot of the fault lies with the government for agreeing to bad contracts. They get stuck for only as much as they agree too.
Many government contracts go the opposite way. The government asks for all kinds of extra stuff and ‘scope creep’ and if the contractor does not push back they end up giving a way a lot of extra work ‘for free’ because they don’t want to lose the over all contract.
