Even here the government is trying to privatize. Some of our divisions have already had to bid on the work they already do against private firms. I've found in most instances around here that private companies do a lousey job. It's not totally their fault. It's the nature of government work. They get a contract to do something within a specified amount of time. Then the specs change and they have to start over again. By the time their contract expires the project they agreed to do looks almost nothing like what they contracted for. Of course I've seen the same thing in private industry. But, they can manage it a little better simply because of the size differences. Fewer cooks with their hands in the pot.
