They're also incentivized to cut corners to reduce cost
So is the federal government. The more they cut corners, the more they can funnel to their corrupt friends and family that "run" the programs doing the corner cutting.
This simply is not true. Even if it were to be better at embezzling, you don't throw out a whole goddamn server rack full of hardware that never made it out of the shrinkwrap for reaching end of life before it got put into production if you're cutting corners effectively. The federal government is one big pile of wasteful spending from top to bottom. However bad you think it is, I assure you that it is worse and that more of it is incompetence than corruption.
