    The linemen were paid $42 an hour. The bill that Whitefish Energy sent Puerto Rico's power company? $319 an hour.http://nyti.ms/2yWg6VA

        This is how big gov runs daily, not just under trump. Smaller gov, less centralized and you can look the person writing the checks in the face.

        This has nothing to do with big gov. These are contract terms that guarantee some level of profit...

        So a private company with no government connection paying for a service from another private company would have signed a contract like this?

        No, but a corrupt Dept of Energy or Interior with strong private-business ties certainly would.

        My point is that this isn't a big-government problem. It's a moral-hazard problem when you have unethical leadership in government. This could've just as easily happened in Barbados...and probably does.
