[Space X] already won the re-supply contract (pending some litigation) and their capsule is designed to carry people to space. We should cancel government funded efforts and instead contract it all out.
You are contradicting yourself.
Government funded efforts are already contracted out. NASA doesn't actually build rockets. They contract it out to Boeing, or Lockmart, or both (United Space Alliance), or now, Space X.
"Go private" really means that the government stops supplying space money altogether, and allows the free market to decide if space is worth it. Is that what you want?
