Sucking on the Government Teats

I follow government work.  It is a big thing they write into their RFPs and the required RFP responses....how many jobs will be created by "Your Proposal Response", and they write in laborious reporting requirements that you have to do throughout the project, draining precious management time, in order to help the Gov prove how their stimulus benefited the economy.  It is like a whole new layer of bureaucracy just to prove "that it's working" and to being back confidence.  And it is draining resources in order to do it.

I guess in a proposal response, one should just lie about how many jobs will be created, seriously, that probably gets you more points in proposal evaluation even if it is 100% BS.
