You'd be surprised at why that is. Gov't spending is atrocious.

Post by: Tapeworm on August 31, 2011, 05:51:47 AM: Old government contract joke. The contractor from Pennsylvania bids $60k, the contractor from Rhode Island bids $50k, and the guy from Jersey says "I'll do it for $100k."

"$100,000?! That's way more than the other guys! Why should I give you the job?" asks the bureaucrat.

"I make $25k, you make $25k, and we subcontract the guy from Rhode Island to do the work."

You're far better off just running any business as off the grid as possible.
