I’d start the push to privatize the TSA for starters. Then I’d move to privatize all the Park workers.

Read the article. That's not what this is about, and besides, it's not in the Executive's domain to do such. That would take an act of Congress.

When they contract out for services, they can save a bunch of money. Federal employees have civil service protection, good pensions and unions which obviously raises the cost of labor.

As much as I despise government bureaucracy, privatizing such things is worse, not better frequently just another excuse for politically connected private entities to raid the public fis.. Now if you can find a way to set a standard and let industry compete to provide the service at the best possible price vs quality that would be another thing, but that is rare also especially when you have government bureaucrats trying to tell private entities how to conduct their affairs.

I suspect that on the whole privatizing government work ends up costing the taxpayers more.
