If the contractors are smart, and I have no doubt they are, they will follow the military model.

Because all of the money is borrowed, hence, “unlimited,” government has no incentive to make sure it’s spent wisely.
The military is our countries number one expense, and look at the precedent it sets. Nearly all other spending is equally hare-brained. Doesn’t matter what department.
We have a freakin $1.7 trillion dollar F35 program that wastes hundreds of billions more every single year and isn’t delivering most of what it promised tax payers.
We are the problem. Americans are terrible spenders, we can’t plan things out well, we are overly optimistic, we take bribes, have accepted all sorts of corruption as normal, and are so dependent on being bailed out by continuing to borrow more money to fix things, that we are incapable of doing things right the first time.
Everything we touch turns into a fiasco requiring more and more and more zeros. Our billion dollar plans turn into $50 billion disasters, adding $50 billion more for interest, and then scrap the whole thing before it is even finished.
We are like a lottery winner throwing money out of a car window. We didn’t work for the money so we don’t value it.
Our debt will be the end of us and our descendants are going live lives of misery and suffering because we are so stupid and lazy right now.
The Pentagon is missing almost a trillion dollars and no one bats an eye anymore. But the chance to point out waste when it can be tied to one party prompts all sorts of outrage.
