Posted by timothy on from the rube-goldberg-economic-logic dept.

barbarai notes a report by ABC News's Rick Klein: "For those concerned about stimulus spending, the General Services Administration sends word tonight that $18 million in additional funds are being spent to redesign the Recovery.gov Web site. "Recovery.gov 2.0 will use innovative and interactive technologies to help taxpayers see where their dollars are being spent," James A. Williams, commissioner of GSA's Federal Acquisition Service, says in a press release announcing the contract awarded to Maryland-based Smartronix Inc. according to the ABC news blog."

    Maybe they'll spend the $18 million on fixing Drupal?

    If they brought this to health care, it would only be because we let them.

    And by that, I don't mean we should stop them from nationalizing health care. What we have to stop is letting them hand out our tax dollars to people who bribe them.

    Most other first world countries in the world manage to have better health care than America, while at the same time spending less per capita.

    Do you think a health care system would be immune from the same frustratingly inefficient bureaucracy that plagues all other government programs? Why?

    Actually, I can visualize the new health care system from my experience with the VA.... Not looking forward to it.
