That's my point. They have the money, but something-something..."policy"...something-something.... It goes to corporations instead of people.

Who are "they" in this case? If you think there is broad electoral support for removing government pay caps I have a bridge to sell you :).

The same "they" you are referring to. The ones writing the checks. I don't care about the precise technicality that enables wage suppression. I literally don't care. The constitution also says no spying on Americans, but somehow that precise word of law was elided. The bottom line is: they have billions, they suppress wages for employees, and they enrich billion dollar contracting firms. Nothing I claim is untrue.

Yes that technicality is called democracy oh well
