Government Software Debacle
"A train wreck in slow motion."
The FBI said earlier this month it might shelve its custom-built, $170 million Virtual Case File project because it is inadequate and outdated.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) sought $388 million last year for its $1.7 billion Business System Modernization program, which congressional
investigators said continues to be over budget and 15 months late.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has doubled its cost estimates to $1.69 billion for its Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System
since 1996, according to the Transportation Department's inspector general. The new system would replace the outdated computers that control
air traffic within five to 50 miles of airports.

How do I get in on these trains full of money that seem to be going nowhere? Man, I could position myself as a corporation dedicated to helping fix the logistics of the separate branches of government, hell, I wouldn't even need 1 billion to do it.
