Post #224,683 by tuberculosis 9/14/05 1:00:16 AM Reply	I have a better idea Lets let the first 60 days circumvent the process and put the rest out properly for bid. Of course, this implies that there will be a little planning and proaction rather than the strictly reactive style this misadministration made famous. Also, the provision allowing pay below prevailing rates is just lame. It pretty well guarantees that minimal dollars goes into the stricken area while max dollars heads back to the stock holders and home office. So glad my taxes are contributing to some fat cat's bottom line. Profit is allowed within reason, but profiteering isn't.

The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell

Oh, and any attempts to hide subsidiaries, joint partnerships, arm's length relations, etc. immediately disqualifies all parties to such an invalid relationships for further contracts, and said violating contractors must return evey dime awarded (even if they have spent some of it).
