AP: $300 million spent on a Social Security government IT fiasco, with no working system: bigstory.ap.org/article/social-security-spent-300m-it-boondoggle Primary contractor: Lockheed Martin. Important note: this system is for filing disability claims. Getting digital government wrong hurts the poor. Ill say again what I did last fall: The sad truth is that unless we reform how government buys, builds, and maintains information technology, we will continue to get more Healthcare.govs. Theyll be built at regulatory agencies, scientific agencies, or places like HUD or the Department of Education or nameless federal agencies that most people dont know exist, along with higher-profile ailing IT projects at the Department of State. Federal IT may be too big to succeed. buzzfeed/alexhoward/how-the-first-internet-president-produced-american-governmen?s=mobile
