Regardless, is that actually saving the taxpayer money?
Doesn't an experienced contractor factor the risk of not getting paid into the price they offer?
Did that risk go up or down over the last few months?

I read the article did you?  First now that canceled next year is a 100% savings. The most anyone will get this year is for work done and if they can prove the government acted in bad faith they will get the profit for the contract. The success rate will be very low and it will take years. So have at it. You ever have  a government contract or are you just blowing smoke? You sound like someone talking out of their element.

Bottom line you were wrong. The contracts will be/have been cancelled and there will be massive savings. As for the other questions they are kind of crappy questions to deflect. LOL Nice try, but you never answered my question. Why?

No, I have never been involved with a federal government contract.  I was briefly involved with a company that had a contract with the Army to improve the ammo manufacturing process but I had no idea how the contract worked.

But, I have been involved with numerous private design and construction contracts.  When you think the client is unreliable, you charge more.  Our clients in the Middle East are unreliable.  We charge them more.  Universal Creative is unreliable.  We price that in.  Domestic developers, Latin American developers, Disney, and Universal Support Services are very reliable.  They get lower prices.
