Not a matter of contracts- it's bidding opportunities- there are few to none because:

a. there's no money
b. mandated sourcing (monopolies) has been set-up (NIB, GSA, DoD emall)
c. no-competes running for years at a time instead of being put up for competitive bidding every year or so

This affects not only government vendors but their subsidiaries (sub contractors), sub sub contractors and so forth down the line as well. Ultimately, it affects us all because it decreases the pool of resources & the competition heats up for a smaller chunk of the pie. That is why there are so many businesses closing their doors. We don't depend on much direct Government business.

PS: Based on the wording of your question, it is obvious you don't understand purchasing. Most Government purchasing for small dollar amounts under 3k (90%+ of small businesess) is done on a credit card NOT contract. The credit card was one of Gore's ideas btw.

I don't know what all the complaining is about.

It is nice under the Obama Cone of Protection. Reminds me a lot of being under the Bush Cone of Protection.

Yes, the unions were compensated very well...

And the most face time in the oval puppet orafice.

Bush had a birth certificate.... 😟

slap bltch!

Look, we had to vote in Pelosi and Obama in order to end the wars.........right?

I thought it was so we could get free Obama care and the welfare and stuff... that's what he said... 😟

Nonsense and illustrates my view. You are a birther of another color.

the view from on top of the fence is pretty clear huh..?? 🤣

TW, you're a straddler no more. Don't let the army of brain dead, political zombies on both sides eat your flesh. =d>

We globalists even control the fence.

The distant hills call to me.
Their rolling waves seduce my heart.
Oh, how I want to graze in their lush valleys.
Oh, how I want to run down their green slopes.
Alas, I cannot.
Damn the electric fence!
Damn the electric fence!

🤔 🤔
How do you get a globalists card anyway... I don't recall it being an option...

Yup. If you go back and read my posts it was pretty clear back when the reason many gave to reelect bush was because he started these wars we should reward him with a second term to see what he does next! It was like watching Jackass 3D

I had to vote Bush... I was heavily vested in oil at the time.... 😟

When I disagree with someone I try really hard to hear and actually consider what they are saying. I'm wrong a lot of the time and generally respect others opinions. That said actually listening to someone and giving their view some sense of credibility doesn't mean you have to agree with it. But listening in politics is not a valued concept. We talk at or to people rather than with people. In here thats fencepost which I wear like a badge of honor or is that badger of horror.... I always get the two confused.

That said, I was never on the fence with Cornwallace after the dumb ass child decided to smack the hornets nest to see what would happen without thinking through things. I must admit though, I was totally on board with him, his admin, and his choice of supporting cast up until that time. I actually liked rummy, cheney, condi, powell. They seemed like good choices at the time. So yes I am using hindsight to gauge the suckiness there.... for the first term. For the second... that was clear. We just voted the poop pile back in.

Look, I was a Kool Aid drinker & Republican water bearer for decades myself. I liked most Republicans w/o really delving deeply and recited the party line by rote. At some point, you have to stop doing something that results in no marked improvement for the country after you CAREFULLY peel the onion layers and stop believing each side's talking points.

What was Einstein's definition of "insanity"?[frypan]
