"And the government thinks it can spend my money wiser than I can."

They think it's their money. Screw em'. They have failed in every way. Any audit, any test, a failure. I'll give you another example. Think were secure here?

U.S. Government Flunks Computer Security Tests
"The U.S. government has earned failing marks for computer security for the second year in a row, according to a report released today by a congressional oversight committee.

More than half of 24 major federal agencies flunked the latest "computer security report card," according to a House Government Reform subcommittee. The Justice, Defense, Energy and Treasury departments earned failing grades; the Department of Transportation received the lowest score."

Here is a list of what grades the GAO assigned to the agencies:

B-minus: Social Security Administration

C-plus: Labor Dept.

C: Nuclear Regulatory Commission

D-plus: Commerce Dept., NASA

D: Education Dept., General Services Administration

D-minus: Environmental Protection Agency, National Science Foundation, Dept. of Health and Human Services

F: Depts. of Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior, Justice, State, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Treasury and Veterans' Administration. Also, U.S. Agency for International Development, Office of Personnel Management, Small Business Administration, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
