stop outsourcing federal positions to highly paid contractors hence making federal positions obselete.

There is an abundance of contractors being hired that already have the skill set for these positions leaving minimal opportunity for federal employee advancement. Federal employees' duties are being outsourced by contractors and the contractors are being paid at a higher rate. My suggestion is to train, mentor, benchmark, etc., federal employees for these positions rather than hire contractors. This is a gross amount of money wasted, not to mention you have government employees that want to do more, learn more, and have potential for growth.
