The US Gov and entities of Gov should avoid compounds like the plague.
Every time a government entity attempts a "raid" on a "compound" it always ends badly and not in favor of the government. Case in point, the Poly-Kids...$7M to remove them, then find it was illegal to do so, then return them. Wonderful. Anyone remember Waco? Another great move. They haven't got a compound raid right since Manson.

Not surprising unless one is delusional/enamored with "gov't @ work"...
No fan of most bureacracies and I don't recall the last "gov't" operation, project, or undertaking that was a-successful, b-didn't cost 5X the orig. cost proj. c-didn't piss off most of the populace it was trying to "help" or that were affected by the change(s) done by the genius planners/deciders. Or, some combo of the above... If most of the gov't, esp at the Fed level, took a month off, I'm not sure many of us would notice or, care.

I am at a loss to come up with a "gov't @ work" program, that really works, in budget, on time, and actually improves the life of the people, (or creatures), that the program affects... Slightly facetious, but not much. I have very little regard for "what" govt "does", esp. at the Fed level. When one realizes that the bureaucracies are really the enforcer tentacles of our 'genius lawmakers', it becomes almost self-parody and one would have to search hard to find a happy citizen/customer, after the "Feds" have come and gone.

If you've ever known anyone who works in government, rule #1 is to always use up your budget, because if you don't, your next year's budget will be cut. So basically, spend as much money as possible, and if possible, ask for even more.

Eric,
I don't disagree, but you are preaching to the choir... All those points are common knowledge and not new info. No xpert, but after 30 years in industry, both private, public companies, and then private again, with hundreds of good sized deals done with all levels of government, I fully realize the system(s) shortcomings. I am and remain, probably the least fan of "gov't" on this board.
