It is special because it is government. We have tax payer money going to support thousands of people finding 0-days. What I am proposing is to move some of those funds to be defensive and since it is government, the intention and motivation is to make more secure software. It also forces companies and the industry in general to pay more attention to this stuff.

Right now, government doesn't care. Right now, it is cheaper to get hacked, spew all your information, and then say, "sorry". Not right.
