  1. Re:Not that easy to blame the contractors on Why Can't Big Government Launch a Website? · · Score: 1

    The game was rigged as the bills were being shoved through Congress. It was rigged as President Obama gave waivers to cronies to avoid the horrors the law dictates. It was rigged when he unilaterally dropped one of the two main mandates until after the next election.

    I could list many more items, but you would simply dismiss them like you are dismissing the ones above.

    Have a pleasant day.

    Gee, it seems to anger you that your tax money is going to people you don't think work hard enough for it.

    Why is that not a surprise?

    Thank you for making my point.

    Really what doctors think is pointless, they are going to take it because they have to and there's nothing they can say about it.

    Another classic case of someone who doesn't understand the law of unintended circumstances.

    Doctors are refusing to take on Medicare or Medicaid patients. What "they can say about it" happens to be "NO!"

    You have to make it simpler for some people to understand. They don't understand the phrase "actual costs to the Doctors", or "its payments are less than their costs".

    I would try, but I'm just too tired today to type out a long explanation that they will simply skip over because they disagree with it, and they can't understand the issue anyway.

    Well, also don't forget that the businessman or doctor that get elected is also in that hated 1%, so half the people don't care what experience or knowledge they can bring to the table.

    That is just too bad for the admiistration. When over half the states declared that they were not going to implement their own exchange, and the federal government would have to do so, the federal government had two options: build the exchange sites for those states, or rescind Obamacare as being too burdensome for them to handle.

    They chose the first option, and then completely botched the job. Don't blame people who didn't agree to play ball in a rigged game.

    I'm sorry you have to live in a society that demands individual responsibility or doing things for others than yourself. Maybe all you Galts can move to Belieze like Mcafee tried.

    Many people left Europe for that very reason, to come to a country that lets you live as you like. Now it is becoming like the socialist states they left, and you want to blame them for not liking it?

    How strange you insist people must live like you want them to, then insult them when they refuse.

    The surplus in the late 90's had more to do with the Republican congress not letting Clinton do much, than with Clinton's fiscal prowess.

    That, and the dot com bubble that was inflating tax revenues, which vanished when the bubble burst.

    But, go ahead and credit and blame the wrong parties for stuff.

    If we're going to go down that route I really don't see what the problem is with just putting a bullet in their head. It's exceptionally effective, comparatively inexpensive, and if you could even attach such a word to it, far more humane due to its immediacy.

    That said, I'm at a loss to understand why we bother. The general consensus suggests that a life stay is about half the cost

    A bullet in the head, or even half a dozen in the heart, costs twice a much as feeding and housing a prisoner for several decades? How is that feasible?

    and doesn't carry with it the same "barbarism" issue.

    It's only an issue if we make it an issue. For those of us who are willing to shoot someone to protect our children, not protecting them is barbarism.

    Personally I think it's wholly stupid to house prisoners at tax payer expense. Force them to earn their keep by providing labor. For non-lifers it would not only serve to pay for their stay but could provide job training.

    And for the lifers that have no family willing to pay their 'room-n-board', and who refuse to work, would you let them starve to death in a cold damp cell?

    How many under Obama have gone to jail for their illegal activities? When will Obama have the character that Nixon had, and leave office?

    Except these stories didn't exist before our current president. I actually consider it one of George Bush's failures that he did so little to stop the release of classified government documents and exposure of secret anti-terrorism programs. During his term, the feds didn't storm people's offices like we are hearing repeatedly for the last few years. So, yes, this is a pattern peculiar to President Obama.
