Re: Good move said by jc100:Well a better solution would be to hire contractors that do the job right the first time.. This would save exponentially more money than pay freezes for upper govt. I got a friend that does subcontracting and one of his projects was government waste and safety. They sure piss away a lot of money. Contracting is not the solution for quality nor is it the solution to saving money. And if you aren't willing to agree that military contracting is a huge example, let's take a simpler one: contractor Bobby Ross, paid $700K/yr as Army's football coach while "leading" the team to a 3-9 season.

| I Think you misread my post. I am saying since the government contracts substantially, hiring people who do the job right the first time is essential. Often times, government subcontractors outsource to other contractors, and the quality is shit. The government would save EXPONENTIALLY by making sure those they hire have a consistent record of getting things done on time and in good fashion. |

| Np. But either which way, waste seems to be the rule rather than the exception. Quite a shame. Would be nice if our government could be fiscally sound like so many others. Several countries in Eastern Europe have balanced budgets and high qualities of life. Sweden is a gleaming example. So why can't we do this? |
