It sure is a spectacular success, from the perspective of the USA's curious form of crypto-socialism. The American tax-payer won't stomach coughing up for the more conventional ways of redistributing quality-of-life from the wealthy to the poor, like universal healthcare or welfare benefits. So instead the government has to do it through these indirect and inefficient schemes disguised as defence procurement.
