I agree. I worked for the Fed for 6 years. I used software that often didn't work. I'd look in the HTML comments, and oftentimes they were not in English.
These big IT firms sell a premium on top of what the very best US-based development shops would charge, and then outsource it to the cheapest bidder overseas. It's a scam. I don't blame the overseas teams. They are getting paid a fraction of what they should be. So there's probably a lot of junior developers working on this stuff.
