That's because Republicans want to move taxpayer money into campaign donor pockets.
While some things can be subcontracted out, I fail to see any improvement in results, just higher costs.
There's a reason why the US doesn't subcontract the US military to mercenaries.
Any problems in government workers is a failure of leadership. A long term failure of leadership.

Umm...Democrats use private companies also. And the U.S. does subcontract to Mercenaries now Dutch. They just call them PMC's (Private Military Companies). There was something like 100,000 in Iraq. The United States is not signatory to the 1989 United Nations Mercenary Convention banning the use of mercenaries.
Agreed. All the rich guys have deals with the companies. It's not a secret. God Bless America and capitalism. That can be taken sarcastically, but it shouldn't.
Capitalism fueled the world's greatest democracy. Why are the Lefties giving it a bad rap? OTOH, when capitalism encroaches on the Preambles of the Constitution, then We, the People need to stand up or give up the freedom envisioned by those who died for it.
The idealism of the one citizen, one vote should stand strongest among all of our beliefs. E Pluribus Unum is, and always has been, our greatest strength.

Look deeper, son. Every human being is an asset, something to be maximized for the greater good of themselves and, consequently, our nation, the world, whatever.
From a management perspective, wasting any assets, human or otherwise, is costly and highly inefficient.
From a leadership perspective, it's a loss of opportunities, a failure to maximize one's options.
From a Constitutional government's perspective, it's a failure of government which should be fixed for the betterment of the nation as a whole.
IMHO, giving shit away is stupid. Necessities are necessities and should be provided for the good of the nation. Aside from just staying alive, people also have a very strong desire to have value to others. If they don't do something that satisfies their desire to have value to others, then it's very human to feel frustrated.
Our culture is inundated with various people telling them they are losers and far too many feel they are losers, that their children will end up as losers and that, if they don't do something now, then they will die losers. That's a very discomforting belief to have.
A good maxim is to understand that the most dangerous people in the world are those with nothing to lose. Human beings will fight to survive. It's in our nature. If they feel their life has no value then most will fight to give it value. Not just for themselves, but for their children and grandchildren. This is a very common, human thing. Why do so many people not seem to understand it?
