U.S. Government, a Dead Beat Customer

All the back and forth "hoopla" about government wire tapping and the morality & invasion of privacy of it all; all the expense, arguing the case in court, all this could have been avoided by just treating the U.S. Government as you would any other customer; to wit:
 the FBI has fallen behind in payments on more than half their wire taps and as a result the phone company has cut their service on those cases that fell in arrears. Story here.

You know, i would like to see the U.S. Governments Credit score IF they were treated as the rest of us are.  I'll bet they would find it hard to get a loan.  Sub-prime anyone?
