Rep. Glenn Grothman Scrutinizes Federal Overspending and DEI Subcontracting

"I have had people ... who talk about the federal government overpaying on products, overpaying on services, a 30% bonus not unusual on subcontracting for the right race or the right gender." Rep. Glenn Grothman details how the federal government overpays contractors, sometimes 25–30%, based on DEI preferences rather than merit or cost. Rep. Grothman argues the current system should be permanently ended in favor of the lowest-bid, best-qualified selection.
