This is where the real money goes. It is all the tax money you are saving through "privatization" which means hiring private individuals to do what used to be done by civil servants.
I’ve nothing against privatization but when I was in the Air Force too often that meant that a blue suiter making 40K in pay and benefits was replaced by a civilian making 100K in pay and benefits. But the Air Force had a valid reason to replace the blue suiter who was then deployable to X, Y or Z.
I’m not defending federal employees but any privatization should save money; not cost more.
