The government is saying that they are trying to save the economy while also creating more jobs for the American people in the private sector. The private sector is made up of minority owned and small businesses on which our economy thrives. President Obama and Congress have put into action an insourcing directive. This directive take jobs from the private sector (thousands of jobs) and converts them to governmental jobs. How is this beneficial to anyone, especially the government who is goign to have to spend more money (which they don't have) to create/ convert these jobs?

The government contracting industry is really suffering right now. Most contracts are coming out as small business set asides which is killing your mid-sized companies. Even the small businesses are suffering, because there haven't been as many project funded in the last year as they were in previous years.
What is really frustrating to me is I sit in an area with government program managers, engineers, equipment specialist and others. They have hired so many new civil service employees that there isn't enough work to keep them busy. Many of them are really only part-time employee and spend the rest of the time surfing the internet. I'm not saying government employees are bad and don't work. There just isn't enough work to keep as staff that big busy.
