I was thinking about the instances of contracting out that maybe seem more plausible and legitimate than the ones that seem less plausible and legitimate.
I came up with a typology by putting it in three buckets. Let's say one bucket is specific “hard tasks”: The government says, “We just don't have people who know how to do that within government.” That's one bucket.
Another bucket might be management consulting. For example, this committee has done work on McKinsey, an organization brought in to offer general advice on direction and management consulting. The third would be pure middlemen, people who are hired to hire other people, like GC Strategies.
Within that $21 billion in contracting out, could you try to give us a sense of the magnitude of each bucket?.
