Sadly, part of the cause of this is due to the small government mantra preached by "conservatives". This results in many tasks being offloaded onto contractors who end up bloating the cost and using various other backchannels.
If a lot of these things were done in-house in the government itself, things would be a lot more efficient.
- refurb 12y agoWhy would the lack of efficiency suddenly disappear if these tasks were brought in house? Jesus, the VA system in in house and look at that mess.
- aceperry 12y agoPart of the VA's problems stem from the fact that it was overwhelmed by returning vets from our wars in the middle east, and funding cuts to the VA.

- Lawtonfogle 12y agoThere is a greater possibility to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency. At the same time, I think chances are those savings will not be realized due to all the buracracy that can happen as people flex their power muscles. For example, needing JQuery to be reviewed in its entirety before being allowed due to security concerns and an official rule that all code used must either be developed in house, purchased (aka, having someone else to blame if something happens), or fully reviewed before use.
