I was thinking they should find a firm that has a proven track record for building software. Find out how much and how long. Set up a bonus if it works and penalties if it does not. Once it is set up, just have the DoD hit the reset button and start over. There is no way they will find all the money that they have already pissed away. I think it would be cheaper to just start over. Then we can start to see how much it really costs. I think this idea could be applied to other departments as well.

Perhaps you're right ... except I highly doubt we are paying our troops enough. Want to give our soldiers sub-standard equipment? Less R&D so they have 2nd class equipment down the road.
I agree there are a lot of fat kats out there making a bundle who should be trimmed off the government teet, but when it comes to our soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen, I would make sure they are well paid and equiped. They are certainly working for it ... unlike the millions whose sole job in life is walking to the mailbox to get their well earned welfare check. Let's start with those folks first and at the same time the fat kats out there. Hmmm, I can think of one major government contractor right now, and its called CGI. :D They did a bang up job on BO-Care's web page. Wonder who they knew in the White House to get that no-bid contract. Must be nice.
