Conservatives insist on "public-private partnerships" and competitive bidding that syphon off profits in the name of the free market and smaller government, and they won't allow the government workforce to grow to perform these tasks permanently.

Thus, the only alternatives left are KBR, Halliburton, and other contractors and consultants who are friends of the political class.

The biddings aren’t competitive. The agencies are corrupt and they don’t care because they’re spending other people’s money.
