In a similar story, USCIS spent $3.1 billion on trying to build a web app to submit forms: https://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2017/02/15/billion-dollar-blunder-immigrants-still-cant-rely-on-uscis-electronic-filing-system/?sh=31d461335c37 https://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2017/02/15/billion-dol... And they failed at that too. Apparently what would have been a weekend project for a high school student was so hard for a federal agency that they burned $3.1 billion trying to do it. (This level of incompetence is truly despicable.) I wonder if there is something pathologically wrong with government and how government (at least in the U.S.) does spending.
