Private Sector Has Firm Role at the Pentagon1 comments
Another chunk of your government—sold off to the lowest bidder.
"... the government has left itself unable to provide proper oversight at a critical juncture in Iraq. 'Quite simply,' Steven L. Schooner, co-director of the Government Procurement Law Program at George Washington University said in a recent paper, 'the Government lacks sufficient qualified acquisition, contract management, and quality control personnel to handle the outsourcing burden.'
The oversight issue has been complicated by a new generation of large, all-purpose contracts that were permitted because of the legislation that Congress passed in 1994 and 1996 to make contracting more efficient."
Now, who tells these guys that the welfare of the country is to be the more important if there is a conflict between federal and corporate interests?
