being a gov contractor,i know it works alittle different than that.gov doesnt pay me ,contractor does,gov pays him just like you would if you hired one to build a house or something.gov actually saves money because they are not paying for insurance,leave, retirement etc.they dont pay the days off,holidays or vacations.contractors bid on jobs and are awarded contracts same as the real world.supposedly small buisnesses have a leg up,but some of these contractors are huge,and are awarded small buisness status because of being native american or woman owned companies.we do everything from survivability testing on gov aircraft, to r&d on gov equipment,installations,repair.nearly all systems are now built and repaired by contractors and we even train the military.my job ALONE was staffed by a crew of 5 feds,i do it alone and take care of 9 buildings where they had one.is that a savings? be kind of hard to pull the contractors out,wouldnt be much left.I pull the pay of a gs 11,all those other five were higher pay grades,in fact i was recruited by the feds to do this job and told them i didnt want it but they insisted and since i knew the head man here personally and he said he needed me i relented.i intended to stay only untill troubles were lined out but been here going on 12 years and they wont let me go.LOL
