I think we should focus less on cost issues and make it a public works infrastructure project. This would mean high launch volumes and lots of mass-produced parts for launchers and space structures made by american factories instead of a few lovingly and expensively handcrafted parts from one or two favorited stinkwerks.
We could have the makers of the PT Cruiser change over to rocket building. But that might give Ares a black eye right off the bat.

Besides the way I see it is, we just don't have the need for a large number of human launches each year. They would just give us more of the same old bone studies and such.
