Only the Government...

Only the Government could call LOSING 1.3 BILLION dollars a "major accomplishment.".

Thats about 4 bucks out of EVERYONE in the US's pocket... babies, kids, teens, adults... everyone gave 4 bucks for the feds to lose on that deal....

Any other member of management in a private company that made that poor of a decision would be out of a job, yet these tools get to keep their jobs year after year!

It was a major accomplishment for whoever profited 1.3 billion at taxpayer expense. This is what happens when you have a govt that plays with trillions in fake money. Billions are just a rounding error and to be dismissed. What's the big deal about losing 1.3 billion compared to a national debt of 14500 billion and counting? Eventually this all ends badly.

14500 Billion = 14.5 Trillion, our current national debt.
14500 Trillion = 14.5 Quadrillion. I'm sure it'll get there eventually. Give em a few decades. =)
