And look at us now . Trump . My god he was right . <| sep |> While not the case here , this is a major problem in the way the government procures services . In an RFP up to 60 % of the marking can be awarded to the lowest bidder with a proposal a dollar more expensive getting no points . There are also usually either no marks or very low marks for reputability of the firm bidding . This completely removes any incentive to give an honest quote or to perform to the contract . It would be amazing if the government stepped up their game . <| sep |> Then he shouldn ' t have taken the job , simple as that . Why would any sane person take a job that they knew couldn ' t be done that would inevitably make them look bad ? Unless Benning thought that he could retool , in which case he ' s either overly egotistical or stupid , or both .
