I used to work for a National Laboratory that was privatized, and the 1980 Bayhd-Dole [1] act made any intellectual property developed on a government contract on what was previously a public national lab now the private ownership of the company that took over the national lab. All the science done at that national lab for less money before it was privatized was after privatization private property, and before privatization more science was done for less money. The reason the costs became higher was that a private company is not tax excempt and the government guarantees a profit for the contract. In effect this is a no cost private theft of government funded research, and I find it fishy that almost all the national labs were made private in the decades after the act. The only upside seems to be that the private company take any blame for a scandal.
