Beltway banditry

[backerman]

It's contract vehicle changeover time (new fiscal year for the government), and most of the non-management government employees in my office are folding under the pressure to go contractor. By "folding", I mean like a stack of dead presidents—except not, because Franklin never held that office.

So why do I have to want the jobs that aren't done by contractors and won't be anytime soon, if ever?
