“this President has had few things as defining in his career as the principle of contracting out and not having things be done by the Federal Government that can be done by entrepreneurial, private sector people. He did that his first term as governor of Texas, second term as the governor of Texas, and campaigned on that. Sometimes he goes too far in contracting out. My question is how can we have such a disconnect in the Department of Justice with the goals of the President of the United States that are explicit through every agency right now ordering contracting out, and this is not contracting out, it is contracting back. It is sucking jobs out of the private sector, bringing them, kind of a reverse contracting out, and then in the proposals, proposing to increase that. At the rate of growth that this category is going, what is the point of us in Congress trying to look at contracting out if they are going to be contracting in in this area.”
