Typically, neither side is able to walk away from a contract with no consequences.
The other side is going to sue in a lot of these cases, the government is going to spend money responding to those lawsuits, and the government are going to lose some of them.
So it is questionable how much money is actually being saved, if any.

But by that time you'll be distracted by the next shiny object, I'm sure.

interesting opinion. Ever had a government contract?  Most all have the "termination for convenience" clause. While it is possible to recoup for work already done and maybe supplies it is almost impossible to over ride this. Also next year these contract will not be renewed  You have  to prove the government is acting in bad faith. Been there tried that it is almost impossible. We will see....
