Will We See the Gradual Nationalization of Government Contractors?

What makes anyone think that large defense contarctor employees aren't already controlled by the government? The processes, rules and utterly useless programs are dictated by the government customer. If you think that a civil servant is more expensive than a contractor, you must have missed the part about cost plus contracts and how they cover the contractor "overhead". The cost plus programs (especially the ones people don't know about) dictate every part of the contract including bonuses and awards. Calling it government ownership would be semantics and like the article says, largely invisible.
