I do think that these are shots across the bow, and perhaps about time. The US has a long history of overinflated requirements, artificially (arguably criminally) low bids, underperforming contractors that guess what? They ask for more money to be bailed out of a hole they partially dug. All the while they are netting all time high profits. About time they get held to task and be scared. The old good ole' boy system of congress forking money into the contractors troughs needed a shake up. If a Senator or some watchdog says something, no one blinks an eye, but the President elect tweets something and they panic.
