For the tenth time

Pentagon blows an addition $6 billion on a $12 billion software purchase. Have them call me, I know a high school kid who can do this stuff on the Internet. Note the companies below who ride this gravy train:

Pentagon contractors that manage enterprise resource planning contracts include International Business Machines Corp., based in Armonk, New York; Computer Sciences Corp., of Falls Church, Virginia; Northrop Grumman Corp., of Los Angeles; and Falls Church-based General Dynamics Corp.’s Information Technologies unit. The GAO’s testimony didn’t identify which contractors were working on the projects experiencing rising costs and delays.

The Pentagon should completely outsource that function, they are simply incapable of spending wisely.

I have worked for the defense industry. They rarely give a damn and the normal defense contract calls for $20 billion in vu grafs until Congress finds out.

Every Congressman and woman knows this shit is going to happen, yet they continue to vote for these appropriations. Remove all incumbents.
