[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3953844, member: 24531"] Yeah but all we hear is how good the "private sector" is...it has been my experience that the entire thing and all the contracts is a grift. A revolving door of gov to corporate rotations and consultants. So as Snake said, incompetent or corrupt people hire others to do their bidding. One way the repubs like to hide increasing the size of govt is to use contractors instead of FTE's. This way, they can spend more on "for profit" services that either cost more or lower quality (or both), and they can lie to the tax payers and claim that they are for smaller gov't. Sometimes, if you got some long-term, COMPETENT gov't employees who made a decent wage, you would get a better product in some cases than hiring out the "expertise" to fly-by-night contractors. But instead you get bureaucrats that oversee the contracts and dole them out to the private sector with no real idea to know what they are getting. In some cases, they even hire another company to oversee the contractor they hired so they don't have to LOL. [/QUOTE]
