nothing says aligned goals like a private corporation telling the government that if it wants its jets to keep working in wartime it needs to fork over more money


In a true time of war, and not an "overseas contingency operation," the government tells the private corporations what to do. Packard (a car company in Detroit) built Merlin aircraft engines in WWII.

I generally agree, though the government could just as well prohibit price increases outside of a pre-arranged schedule. Consumers can't do that, the US government can, and does.
