Another case study in govt. inefficiency

Read this article and try to smile when you think about the tax dollars wasted, the lobbying, the pork barrelling, the politicians pushing the project because their district benefits, etc. Billions wasted, and no ships, helicopters, or unmanned vehicles to show for it. Who will go to jail for it? No one. Who will lose thier job over it? No one. Which corrupt politicians will lose office? None.

Bend over Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer, and pay here.

Nothing new here. People keep returning the same two parties to office and somehow expect things will change for the better. Insanity! We have only ourselves to blame.
