Experience with i. T. Was that it was boondoggle after boondoggle and a tremendous waste of taxpayers money spent on incompetent private contractors who never seem to be able to get things right. And im wondering if you could comment and perhaps its better now, and what impact this has on the current sense of trust among Public Officials regarding their sure. So i would say the failures are just as bad or worse in terms of government contracting, i. T. , healthcare. Gov and the electronic records archive, expensive yearlong projects that largely failed, with healthcare. Gov until it was rescued, big, massive failures. Whats changing is there are a number of people that have identified tractable, fixable problems with the contracting and the i. T. Contracting system, and so if you look at the u. S. Digital service or at 18f, these are new governmentled groups of people that are trying to change the way the government buys technology and to change the way the government builds technology
