Feds Convinced that Taxpayers are Suckers

I don't know about anyone else but with fiscal geniuses like this in government I'm feeling a whole lot of trepidation about turning the nations health care over to them.

We paid $634 million for the Obamacare sites and all we got was this lousy 404

It’s been one full week since the flagship technology portion of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) went live. And since that time, the befuddled beast that is Healthcare.gov has shutdown, crapped out, stalled, and mis-loaded so consistently that its track record for failure is challenged only by Congress.
The site itself, which apparently underwent major code renovations over the weekend, still rejects user logins, fails to load drop-down menus and other crucial components for users that successfully gain entrance, and otherwise prevents uninsured Americans in the 36 states it serves from purchasing healthcare at competitive rates – Healthcare.gov’s primary purpose. The site is so busted that, as of a couple days ago, the number of people that successfully purchased healthcare through it was in the “single digits,” according to the Washington Post.
The reason for this nationwide headache apparently stems from poorly written code, which buckled under the heavy influx of traffic that its engineers and administrators should have seen coming. But the fact that Healthcare.gov can’t do the one job it was built to do isn’t the most infuriating part of this debacle – it’s that we, the taxpayers, seem to have forked up more than $634 million of the federal purse to build the digital equivalent of a rock.~snip~

I cannot think of anything the government has taken charge of where eventually it they turned it into a complete mess.
There is an argument for NASA and the moon missions in the late 60's and early 70's but that came because for the most part politicians stayed somewhat out of the way.
There's no doubt that what sometimes started out with the best of intentions eventually becomes an over priced bureaucratic mess by the time Washington gets done with it.
But Obamacare is the exact opposite, it's an over priced mess even before it gets out of the gate.

Promises are Easy, Follow Through not so Much

You know George H.W. Bush made the statement "Read my lips: no new taxes" and he was slammed for 4 years for raising taxes and lost his second term to Billy "BJ" Clinton.
Even though liberals live for higher taxes he was vilified for making the promise and then backing off of it.....and this was before the popularity of the Internet.

Funny thing is that no one in the media seems to remember the multitude of promises made by the Obamessiah.


Just a little reminder here

Fortunately we have the Internet,and if the media isn't going to cover the broken promises then they'll be plastered all over online.
No budget in 1,111 days, 8.1% unemployment and massive deficits is what we got.

But Obama is all over that repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act.

He's collecting big bucks for his campaign coffers from clueless celebutards while Americans using food stamps is at an all time high.

Obama has one promise that he kept:
"We will stand up in this election to bring about the change that won't just win an election, but will transform America".
He's transformed America alright, into a mess.
