Absolutely Incredible

A $300 million new computer system at the Social Security Administration doesn't work. Officials say they aren't sure when it will. 

Six years after embarking on the project, it's still in the testing phase. 

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee yesterday asked Social Security for all documents related to the Disability Case Processing System. Members want to know if the agency tried to suppress a report commissioned from McKinsey & Co. to give an independent view of the project. McKinsey found that no single person was in charge from the beginning.

I've seen some of the federal employees the government has in their IT departments. Affirmative Action and Gimme jobs in its finest showing. Intelligence of a box of rocks and the personality of dial-tone. The federal employment system is run by these clowns too so good folks can't get in the proper way - you gotta know someone that has 'Direct-Hire' ability.

No real surprises here!
