How does our Government work?

Question

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White
House in D.C. One from New Jersey, another from South Carolina and the third, Florida. They go with a White House official to examine the fence. The Florida contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well", he says, "I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me." The South Carolina contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me." The New Jersey contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700" The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?" The New Jersey contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from South Carolina to fix the fence." "Done!", replies the government official. And that friends, is how it all works !!!

Oh Smith102--please! Tell me you're not old enough to vote!

Answer 1

Hahaha! I like it! Star for you my friend!

Answer 2

Then, the price is only $1,700 since government keeps $1,000 anyway. So, the government would have done better just hiring South Carolina directly anyway, and saved the other $1,000.

So, what you say isn't right. That isn't how the government works.
