Slashdot IT Story | Tech CEOs Tell US Gov't How To Cut Deficit By $1 Trillion
It goes to show you that big solutions aren't always sexy. IT infrastructure is not an especially exciting topic, but investments in it have the potential to really help our nation. Granted, this report was not exactly produced by disinterested bystanders, so I'm not sure how valid their $1 trillion figure is...but in any case, better IT management can save the government a lot.
