I worked for General Dynamics for a good period of time and they would push projects onto me and tell me to require X an hour for them insanely out of my pay grade to cover next year's funding. Or they would tell me to sit on things and pretend I was still doing them to cover for this reckless spending.
I'm not saying everyone was totally on the up and up. Problems of that sort in the 1980s (cross-charging between Space Shuttle and B-1B contracts) gave rise to increased financial scrutiny in the defense industry. Don't assume that it all goes without notice or correction nowadays. Congress has never been happy with such costs, but they want the products.
