So, the Government is discussing the possibility of contracting with some automakers to manufacture ventilators to address the current virus pandemic. Call me skeptical, but, to me, this reeks of a taxpayer ripoff. These companies are going to want a cost plus fee contract to do something that they know nothing about, using extremely high priced union labor. From my Government contracting experience, any company will do anything the Government wants if you are willing to pay all of their costs plus a guaranteed profit. Just my opinion.
