Hmm... It is almost like all those awesome computer programs written decades ago are part of our national infrastructure. Just like our dams, roads, bridges, airports, waterways, electrical grid, wetlands, tunnels, railways, sewers and federal protections (regulations), etc., those programs have been starved of funds needed to maintain them so that they would continue to deliver benefits to society as they did when they were new.

If you stop taking care of yourself when you finish high school and spend the next 40 years eating bad food and not exercising, you should not be surprised when your body starts having major issues when you approach 60.
