Why do I think there is so much privatization, because someone makes alot of money at it - whether backdoor deals with members of Congress or you name it.
I actually never said they were, but be it GS/SV/WG - whatever - the series is quite irrelevant, because the principle and practice are the same.
I also don't doubt there's a boatload of what you describe going on - but you're speaking of huge Federal contracts (I would imagine that complete privatization of security certainly counts as one, yes), not an individual physician or nurse or two as in my case, as our authorization for hiring isn't the same and the staffing agencies aren't specifically contracted to the Feds in the same way.
