The INTENT is to limit corruption. If they could give contracts to anybody they want, then they could reward donors.

I think it's actually achieved that goal. It comes at the expense of competence, however, as those with the best lawyers (not best developers) win contracts.

Except it hasn't. The current system has turned what is left of the pool of potential bidders into key donors.

So we have a choice between corruption and incompetence ... I'm pretty sure that corruption would actually be better, at least shit would work.

We only have a choice of which we want to start with. Eventually we end up with both.
