This is the problem of politics in a nutshell. We tend to have strong opinions, as is out democratic duty. It's impossible (or very hard) to form opinions based on specifics. So we fall into tragically cliched thinking.
"The problem" is whatever the problem always is. Maybe its Capitalism. Maybe its "kickbacks, overregulation, collusion in bidding, and simple "match the budget" bids" It's probably whatever your worldview always points to.
