I just read Steve's post and can say that while he makes a few good points
about how an item is priced in relation to future liabilities and anticipated
use, he has yet to realize that the concept of a mandate in perpetuity has no
lawful basis beyond the auspices of a covenant, and as such has an expiration
date, expressed or not.The 1/8th price contract stipulations limiting resale
would become un-enforceable in a matter of time.
Sort of like selling a Humvee for "off road use".
Perhaps Steve also has yet to learn that the Government does not do business
based on a bottom line as defined in a traditional business model. Money
earned is not saved, money saved is not kept, money kept is subtracted from next
years budget.
