The problem with big gov is that you get to the state where the people running it have their jobs because of connections rather than competence,:

Of course the same goes for big corporations, but that tends to self correct.

Ummm, except for those pesky election things you forgot again.
We need a directorate of science, and we need it to be voted on only by scientists. You don't get to vote on reality. Get over it. Elected officials that deny the findings of the Science Directorate are subject to immediate impeachment for incompetence.

I can vote out a bad legislator. I can't get rid of a bad manager.

Just that simple.

That depends on how long until we can vote out bad managers.

Once again, these people are just Nazis. *IF* Obama leaves office at the end of this term, the entire lot of them needs to be rounded up and thrown in prison.

I think when an HONEST attorney general gets into office, the Federal government will have decades of work bringing these people to Justice.

Another pro on the healthcare.gov fiasco:

Data handoffs were critical to the program's success. If they screwed this up so badly, what else will never work?

Dude, American Stinker? You gotta be kidding. I might as well start quoting Jane Hamster or the National Enquirer.

I read the other day that a bunch of Silicon Valley liberals were cringing at the mess there guy has made of this. Someone quipped they could have probably had a few local people knock out the whole thing for a few million dollars.


It so cute that these people naively think the 600 million (Less than Half of what Obama has cost us for vacations.) paid in graft and kickbacks was just a case of the US Government getting ripped off by an incompetent company.


Not at all. With a corrupt, Nazi-Like regime such as this, overpayment for crap performance is a feature, not a bug.

The little squeaker is squeaking. He probably worked on the project.
