Republicans want a welfare dependent society where government contractors are dependent on selling to the federal government.  This is capitalism at work.  If you lose one buyer, you find another one.  If you make something people don't want to buy, make something else.  If you are a government contractor that is too lazy or stupid to adapt to finding new customers and developing new products and services, then good by to you.  If you fully understood how government contracting works, you would be up in arms over the waste.

A 1995 law mandates that the cap on the amount of money that can be used to pay the top five executives be established using a formula that reflects executive compensation at large publicly traded companies.  Those executives, by the way, just got a 10% raise.  $723,029 of your tax dollars can be used to pay for the salary and benefits for the top five executives of a federal contractor. This is overhead money being used to pay people who don't actually work on the contract or provide direct services to the government.
