Replying to Avatar Aurelius

I’m not arguing against profits at all. I am stating that the cost of a public service as provided by government is (labor + admin + materials). The cost of a public service as contracted out to a government contractor is (labor + admin + materials + profit). Contractors wish us to ignore the added cost to public services

The most common reason government agencies contract out work to private firms is to reduce costs.

The most common reason is not to reduce cost, it is to satiate the desires of the electorate. And the electorate are not members of the public; they are controlling members of corporations that sponsor elections and put people in office…for the sole purpose of winning those contracts
