Senators Press for Broader Definition of ‘Inherently Governmental’
Federal Daily - March 23, 2010 http://www.federaldaily.com/federaldaily/archive/2010/03/FD032310.htm?s=fd_032510#a
A contingent of 11 Democratic senators urged the Office of Management and Budget to more broadly define what constitutes inherently governmental job categories that can be performed only by federal civil servants.
In a March 18 letter, the senators urged OMB Director Peter Orszag to define “inherently governmental” work in expansive terms “to cover all sensitive functions so managers won’t need designations like ‘core,’ ‘critical’ and ‘mission-essential’ to shield jobs they know are best performed by federal workers.”
The letter is part of the larger effort launched last year by President Obama to rein in the number of jobs that are contracted out to the private sector. Outsourcing of federal government work went too far in the previous administration, said the letter, which suggested that Orszag issue restrictions to more tightly constrain the type of work that subcontractors can perform.
“We can’t continue to allow federal agencies to lose control of mission-relevant functions by giving contractors a decisive role in how they are executed,” the letter said.
Lawmakers also urged Orszag to set deadlines for each agency to identify and in-source any such work that was contracted out. OMB is expected to publish the new guidelines next month. Among those signing the letter were Sens. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., and Robert Byrd, D-W.Va.

Frankly I don’t believe ANYTHING that comes out of Government Agencies anymore.
The CBO defined complete incompetence.
Sounds like he wants to take away private contracts and expand the government even more.
This tells you everything you need to know about this evil regime.
Teaching is an inherently governmental job, so no more private schools. This could prove to be a defining moment of the 0bama regime. And the government knows where every private school is, including every homeschooling parent who files a private school affidavit in California.
