Abstract:
Contracting out government services to the private sector offers the new Congress the winning opportunity to make substantial cuts in federal spending--as much as $9 billion per year--without reducing essential constituent services. Indeed, if properly implemented, an aggressive program of contracting out at the federal level could even lead to improved service at significant budgetary savings, reproducing improvements routinely achieved by states and municipalities.
