Lead Contractor On Health-Care Web Site Led By Execs From Troubled IT Company

thomst writes "The Washington Post's Jerry Markon and Alice Crites report that 'The lead contractor on the dysfunctional Web site for the Affordable Care Act is filled with executives from a company that mishandled at least 20 other government IT projects, including a flawed effort to automate retirement benefits for millions of federal workers, documents and interviews show. CGI Federal, the main Web site developer, entered the U.S. government market a decade ago when its parent company purchased American Management Systems, a Fairfax County contractor that was coming off a series of troubled projects. CGI moved into AMS's custom-made building off Interstate 66, changed the sign outside and kept the core of employees, who now populate the upper ranks of CGI Federal.'"

You should look it up, those are fake temporary losses because congress required them to pre-fund their pension plan for x years, something nobody else has to do, and something that was done specifically to create the lie that they're losing money.

They make money, but they're forced to save more than they make. I mean, don't just repeat thin, obvious propaganda like a right-wing shill. Either care enough to google it one time and find out it is a lie, or find a better propaganda line. This is slashdot, kiddo. We expect better.

Now get off the lawn, and take your lawn signs with you!
