Grassley says Y2K money well spent

January 4, 2000 By admin

The federal government spent eight and a half BILLION dollars preparing its computers for the Y-2-K glitch — which had very little impact anywhere. While it’s uncertain what would’ve happened had the money not been spent, Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley feels it was a wise investment.Grassley says the billions spent on Y-2-K were in line with the old adage of an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure.Grassley says many of the computers had to be upgraded anyway to move into the 21st century.
