Seems a little orthogonal to HN... but the numbers are not that surprising when you have a huge raft of billion-dollar-a-piece "IT Projects and Systems" that are literally incentivized not to ship, ever - and they hire no-show military officer retirees with a wink-wink-nod-nod to keep pumping money into the corrupt coffers of their consultancies. If normal citizens knew the extent of waste and fraud behind the "clearance" screen in the Dept. of Defense, they would throw up a little in their mouths.

At least your post realizes that the government is to blame as much (if not more) as the contractors (and thus the people are truly to blame for electing leaders who allow this to go on under their noses).
