When asked why his company was chosen over all the others, company president David Richter didn't beat around the bush. "It really helps to have the brother of the vice president as a partner," he said.

There are 535 members of the House and Senate that need a dang good look as well.

How many of their friends and family are enriching themselves through corruption?

All government contracts should be blind bid and include detailed operations plans, timing, material lists, etc. Add failure to perform incentives.
