Then you'll have to bring in government contractors at $400 an hour to set it up, and to buy computers that are five times as much as a normal, off the shelf model.

Maybe so, but it would still be cheaper than $38k per trip. :)

What needs to be done is to teach fiscal responsibility at all levels of government - unfortunately that will never happen, not when you have the people setting the budget able to give themselves raises without permission from their bosses (us).

Got that right! :)

I'm not so sure about that, with the government and contracts these days....
