  1. Re:Stop pushing the bogus 643 million $ number on Buried In the Healthcare.gov Source: "No Expectation of Privacy" · · Score: 1

    Because Infrastructure of a national program doesn't count towards the cost of that program?

    So the website itself cost "only" 50 some million. In order to make it work, they needed hundreds of millions more. If Obamcare never passed, how much of that money would be spent?

    So they didn't really suppress anything, they just prevented the circumstances that would be subject to the effect.

    Wouldn't it be the case that if they actually manipulated a fundamental nuclear force that it would be a very notable achievement? Rght up there with negating gravity or something.

    He's not anywhere near what I went through. He's going to get back pay. As soon as this is resolved, he is guaranteed to still have a job. It's highly unlikely that he will even go past thirty days on any of his bills.

    No, compared to what I and Millions of other people went through in the last several years, he faces a mere inconvenience. He should buck up and stop whining.

    The only good thing out of this is that the Republicans â" most of whom would vote to end this if Boehner would allow a vote â" are slitting their own throats because they are scared of a minority of Tea Baggers. Next election, the House will belong to the Democrats, and the Tea Baggers will return home frothing at the mouth. Good for them.

    The republicans have *always* relied on the votes of the stupid, by telling them that they (the Republicans - the greedy business elite) are just like them and are on their side. Now their dupes are the govt-haters who don't want to pay their taxes. Not long ago it was the bible thumpers and Jesus lovers, who hoped the "moral" Republicans would put down those pinko atheist Democrats. Before that, before they changed their name, the Republicans were Southern Democrats who yelled "The niggers are taking over and want to marry your lily-white daughter." The Republican politicians are just careerists who take money from the elite in order to remain in office. *Their* goal is power and the perks.

    And why would I have sympathy for some ignorant, race baiting fucktard who is clearly just another left wing shit head?

    Fuck him and you.

    As opposed to giant omnibus bills that include everything but the kitchen sink?

    You are probably way too young to remember but it used to be the case that spending bills were limited to specific areas. In fact, if you look on You Tube, you can probably find Ronald Reagan displaying a giant stack of paper in the State of Union Address that was the omnibus bill for that year and proclaiming it ridiculous, which many people agreed with.

    So fuck you and your stupid teenage ignorance.

    The Dems rejected out of hand 4 budget bills since Obama took over and the last one they gutted and sent back knowing it didn't stand a chance. The Dems wanted a continuing resolution that keeps spending levels where they are. Now, the House is passing smaller, targeted spending bills that make the things this guy s talking about unnecessary. Dem don't care about them, they care about their spending priorities, which are enshrined in the continuing resolutions.

    Back to you Democrats. Whay are your spending priorities more important than funding the government.

    Don't forget, it's the prerogative of the House to deciding spending levels.

    I don't work for the government. I was laid off. I didn't get back pay. I had to work part time to cover expenses. I got my job back but I'm paying off lots of debt and my credit is trashed.
