Really gross. Honestly, has America always been this corrupt or the last 20 years really hitting its stride?

As if the DOD doesn't have enough funds, they have to pull new taxpayers funds for this clearly wasteful program.

Some super secretive, non-collaborative, non-competitive, bureaucratic run foundry will surely be worse over the long run.

Sounds like DoD wants their own foundry but won't even reach into their existing bloated budget to do it. Shameful. Would be a bad idea even if it was from their budget but less terrible than the current situation.

How do you think Silicon Valley was originally funded in the 1950s?
