But that’s how all of government works. Even the Chicago Board of Education. They’re all part of the greasy wheel man.

Of course, it’s part of the reason why the Arrow got the axe (literally) back in the day. New government comes in, finds old government’s project has been costing serious dollars, ally promises to fulfill same requirement for fraction of the cost, new government agrees and kills old government’s project. Eventually, the ally’s alternative fails to live up to promise, but ally is quick to offer its own mediocre aircraft at a bargain price.
