Honestly, having seen both sides of government contracting, I don't blame fat contractors nearly as much anymore. Sure there's corruption and bribery, but it's the customer's responsibility to make sure they're not being fleeced, and government contracting officers are so retarded they deserve it. And their bosses who want the work done are usually so inept or non-technical that you have to basically be a mind reader to figure out what they want, and then if they're really an asshole and they told you something incorrect, they'll try to blame you instead of taking responsibility. And then it's you vs an entity with an unlimited legal budget.

All of that gets priced into future contracts or companies go out of business, lessening competition and again raising prices.
