[at-l] Bush Outsources Forestry Jobs

[jplynch at crosslink.net (Jim)]

This may be similar to a lot of outsourcing drills that the federal 
government goes through.  Basically the government agency competes 
against businesses for the work.   As I understand it, the government 
wins a great majority of these competitions and gets more efficient 
while going through the process.  If done right, its a win-win for the 
taxpayer.

What happens to the trees is anybody's guess."

>>What happens to the trails is anybody's guess. Why does little bush hate trees so much? Does he abhor standing in their shadow? I know that it may be difficult for an ego as big as his. Kowtow my friends while you are still free enough to do so. See my website for a scanned copy  of the article. www.hikinlitegear.com
