Do you have some evidence there is an actual cost to the Federal government? It seems to me the cost is entirely born by the users of the system.

Yes, instead of revenue going to the government, it's going to Booz. Just because it doesn't go through the government first doesn't mean it's not a cost. This is proven because Booz wouldn't make and run this site if not for this aspect of the relationship.
