Bill would require contracting officers to track more contractor data

The mess that was the Recovery Act for the federal contracting community was just the tip of the iceberg. See what lawmakers think contracting officers have time. energy and visibility of at House bill American Jobs Matter Act would require contractors to say how many jobs they would create for each contract award -- Federal Computer Week. This may still be just the tip. For now, the federal procurement process is responsible for growing the economy, putting small business to work, putting veterans to work, putting women to work and now they want to keep track of it through contracts, Who will pay? We the taxpayers, that's who. Who will do it? We the contracting professionals.

Thank goodness we aren't on furlough, or who or nothing would get done!
