Which services are too important to outsource? Which services are “inherently government functions“?

DEZ, Drug Enforcement adminiZtration???
No one cares about exposing Top Secret America because there’s money to make. Money is religion.
Wow, the numbers look so impressive. However, I’ll bet they’re considering every military recruiter’s office as a “work location”

Why is this one of the most digged articles; aside from the fact that this is pure proganda without any explanation or further detail is pure stupidity. No it is not illegal for the government to contract jobs; it’s used to save money and you imply some sort of conspiracy or impending doomsday result without saying why. Stupid Stupid Stupid.
