[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about we let the private sectors bid on it and the winner runs DCPS for a year or two. If they can produce a convincing result, we extend their contract. If not, another bid. [/quote] Actually, what you just advocate is part of the problem. This in-a-year/out-a-year philosophy, private or public, is an amazing drag on the system. None of the well-intended experiments have a smidgen of a chance to succeed. It even heavily looks like someone devised performance-driven government and contracting to do just that. And don't forget that Congress likes to foist new policy and management pet experiments on DC. Try the book "Wrecking Crew", for example, if you want a glimpse at what that does to the system.[/quote]
