This is pathetic. At a time when unemployment is high, one would think this is silly. Further, it amounts to sole sourcing, which cuts out competition and therefore ensures costs will not be optimized:
The defense authorization bill, which passed the House on May 28 and which will likely be considered by the Senate during the lame duck session after the election, contains an amendment by Rep. John Sarbanes, D-Md., that would give preference to federal employees "to perform new functions and functions that are performed by contractors and could be performed by federal employees."
The language mirrors a proposed policy change issued by the Office of Management and Budget on March 31, seeking to define a wide range of tasks as government functions and ensuring that they are performed by government workers rather than contracted out to the private sector.
Insourcing is one of the president's priorities, dating from the campaign, when he pledged to cut contracting dollars by 10 percent. Union membership is growing only in the government sector, so expanding government jobs is vital to the president's union base.
Leave it to the Socialist in Chief to destroy our time-proven economy. Idiot.
