Recovery,gov 2.0

Smartronix is a global professional solutions provider specializing in NetOps, Cyber Security, Enterprise Software Solutions, Defense & Commercial Products, and Health IT. That's what their web site says. I wonder if they spent 18 Million building it?

They were just awarded a contract by the US government for up to 18 Million dollars through 2014, for design and maintenance of the new Recovery.gov web site.

18 Million dollars. For a web site. Who says the government doesn't know what it's doing?

Meet Neel T. Kashkari, the Bailout Czar, and as near as I can tell, the mastermind behind the 18 Million Dollar web site.

In July 2006, Kashkari was appointed as a special assistant to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. In the summer of 2008, he was appointed assistant secretary for international economics and was confirmed in that post by the U.S. Senate.[1] On October 6, 2008, Paulson named Kashkari interim head of the new Office of Financial Stability.

Prior to joining the Treasury Department, Kashkari was a Vice President at Goldman, Sachs & Co. in San Francisco, where he led Goldman's Information Technology Security Investment Banking practice, advising public and private companies on mergers and acquisitions and financial transactions.

Why is it all the folks that were part of the problem are now in charge of fixing it?

I can't find a connection, but I would not be surprised to find Smartronix is somehow connected to Goldman Sach's.

Goldman Sach's has been behind every bubble and crash since the Great Depression. Along with their good friends over at the Federal reserve. The Federal Reserve and the Treasury are top heavy with former Goldman Sach's employees.

Since they have bilked the country out of all it's real wealth, they now are apparently bilking us out of any future wealth, by sucking up the imaginary money the Federal Reserve is printing.

It is a nice little scam they have going, with the full support of the Federal Government. This really just reinforces my suspicion that saving the economy is the last thing anyone is government is trying to do. Pillaging what is left seems to be the agenda.

Why else would soneone spend upwards of 18 Million Dollars on a web site?
