    We will save money. Let's look at how outsourcing the vehicle passes went. I'm sure it was a terrific deal for the government.

    Also, feel free to look into all of the times that the feds have had to cancel deals with Aramark after they fail to meet the terms of their contract.

    But sure, let's just give those groups more business without regard to actual performance.

    there is more to “park ranger” than operating a ticket booth. Much of it requires considerable training and education. Just because we don’t understand everything they do, doesn’t mean a temp or high school summer employee can do it.

    Park Rangers are law enforcement officers.

    never implied anything about a park ranger. someone else characterized these as 'low wage' employees

    Get real. I understand just fine. Point is most legit companies provide health insurance and would pass that cost along to the gov. Clearly you are lacking in reading comprehension or just lamely trying to justify more bad policy.

    Another clueless post that adds nothing. Congrats. Clearly some of you aren't familiar with outsourcing. :rolleyes:
