Yesterday, the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal workers union, blamed pressure on the Army from the White House's Office of Management and Budget for the decision to privatize its civilian workforce.
"Left to its own devices, the Army would likely have suspended this privatization effort," John Gage, president of the organization, said in a statement. "However, the political pressure from OMB left Army officials with no choice but to go forward, even if that resulted in unsatisfactory care to the nation's veterans."
All in all, the thing I like most about all this coming out is that it will more than likely put to rest any talk about "privatizing" social security. Privatization to this administration is pretty much akin to "line up at the trough, little piggies, and feed of the public dole."
