Mulvaney: Insourcing is Hurting Small Business, Growing Government, and Costing Taxpayers Money

Contracting and Workforce Subcommittee Chairman Mick Mulvaney (SC-05) today held a hearing to examine the Obama administration's insourcing policies and their detrimental effect on small businesses.

"This is a story that folks need to hear," Mulvaney said. "I have been approached by several small businesses that have had their work 'insourced.' Government agencies are cancelling contracts with private sector businesses, taking the work in-house, and often even hiring away the private business' employees. By doing that, the Obama Administration is growing government, hurting small business, and costing taxpayers money. It's absolutely wrong, and people need to know about it.

"What's worse is that this insourcing is being done with little or no transparency. For example, in 2009, the Democrat-controlled Congress included in the Omnibus Appropriations Act a requirement directing federal agencies to increase guidelines on insourcing. However, over two years later, those guidelines don't exist --- but agencies are insourcing anyway."

I've decided to laugh. I think it's more cost effective to have the work done in-house. As to the Great Federal Government Hiring Extravaganza - well, anyone whose family members and friends have been looking for work diligently in the Federal Govt can attest, THERE ARE NO JOBS!!!!
