Wrong: move the project to Silicon Valley. Onizuka Air Force Station (the 'blue cube') in Mountain View is empty. And implement secure video conferencing / telecommuting.

The FBI dumped 700 million on a Case File System; and the 2010 census project is in billion dollar trouble. Why predict success for any government software project?

Hence the recent dollar devaluation, and sky high crude oil prices. Why is this so? The US has a fiat money system, which means the currency is not convertible into gold or silver. If you're curious how our system became what it is today consider watching this unique video. [tinyurl.com]
