Quote: "Deloitte also faced blowback in 2013 for an unemployment benefits system it built in Massachusetts. There, the benefits system arrived in 2013, two years late and $6 million over budget—only to be filled with glitches that erroneously cut workers’ benefits, according to the Boston Globe."

Ha! I don't think those were glitches, but a clever plan to siphon here and there a bit of extra money. Kind of "you cut them a small amount of money, you get some, I get some" deal between state officials and Deloitte. Easy to blame computers when you do this and have experience. This is a classic case of evil genius at work.
