"The government continues to drop the number of Mission Critical systems in order to raise the percentages of completion. They had a high of 8589 mission critical systems to a present low of 6404.

The total number of Government sytems is 75,000 +/-

They have now alleged to have fixed 5059 of those 75,000 systems, or only 6.7% of that number.

*****6.7%****** of all of the systems used to run the US
Government.

Now imagine a company that tries to operate with less than ten
percent of all of it's available systems. How well do you think it will operate?

So now the media picks this up and says that the government is almost 80% done with it's systems.

Bottom line. They will have far less than 10% of all government systems running. And they expect you to think that all will be well and will result in no more than sporadic inconveniences.

Now consider that the USA is ONE OF THE MOST PREPARED in the world."

Howard at this "rate of progress" I would be highly skeptical of claims that bring and agency from an "F" to a "B"...perhaps miracles do happen, but you'd be more likely to have angels fly out your arse...

Keep you eye on the bouncing mission critical systems number for a clue.
