We already have it n place it is called the "General Accounting Office." They are the primary over site agency. The reason costs to the government are high because dealing with government agencies are a pain in the neck and costly. The government relies on out dated specification and expensive building requirements that inflate the costs that are not normally found in the private sector. It is government requirements that make doing projects or contracts expensive. No "over site is going to solve that.

Maybe you weren't paying attention in school but the US already has something like you are whining about, its called Congress...
