You are going way off the deep end.  Yes, a lot of "engineering" and support services have been contracted out.  Our government no longer designs and engineers it's defense equipment.  While I am aware that the government has consolidated personnel, financial operations, and computer support, I am unaware that they have contracted out these services.  There are things that cannot be contracted out becasue they are inherently government functions.  

As far as people setting themselve up with contracts before they go out the door - you do realize that is illegal??  People go to jail for those things.  I am aware that some people go to work for contractors once they leave miltiary or government employment, but there are restrictions on their ability to work directly with the govenrment for a period of years.  

Your total Lack of understanding of things that you seem to think you are an expert on, is putting you in the same category with those you dispage reguarly in this forum.  You are entitled to your opinions, but don't mistake them for facts.
