From $6B to $8B is not double. But, there is what I mean. If it got to $8B, I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't say it was a waste. I would say "oh, look another government project over budget". For the longest time, the reason for things going over budget is due to picking the lowest bid, not the best bid. Things are starting to change from that.
