Remember the IRS computer “Rewrite Redesign” of the 80’s ?

10 years and 3 Billion ...and nothing delivered. Vaporware.
The Bureaucrats tried and Failed.
Enter IBM CSC MARTIN MARIETTA LOCKHEED etc....They control compuyerized progress, not the Bureaucracies.

IBM and Sun are the two main companies who want the government processes all converted to open source, so that same software can be used by foreign governments, who will then purchase the necessary hardware from them, or at least they’re willing to sell us out in that hope.
