Firms defraud government but get new US contracts

When I read this article I was disturbed by the amount of money that our government is giving to companies that are supposed to be suspended from receiving federal funding. I understand that sometimes it may be in our best interests to deal with a company on the suspension list if they have improved their deficiencies and offer the service at the best price. However, to give a company money because we mistakenly did not find them on the suspended list is horrible.
