I don't see any targeting in the language I've read. There are notable legistlators on both sides that have been making big money on this issue - Rick Scott from FL, for example (my state these days).
When I first checked into the Pentagon, my predecessor told me I should buy some stock in a prominent ship building co, as "they were going to win the contract" for a shipbuilding program the Navy was putting for bid that my new office funded. He told me "do it quick" before I was officially privy to information. I thought it felt shady, so passed, and the end result was that months later the contract was won by George Steinbrenner's Tampa Bay shipyards, by oiling a lot of legistlators pockets - over the Navy's objection that the shipyard was simply not capable. Fast forward 5 years - the Navy received a few barges of incomplete materials, George had the shipyard declare bankruptcy after he had skimmed off what big dollars he could. That is all easily verified. My point is - they're all hogs at the trough. At least this bill reigns them in a bit - both sides.
