Yup. Pretty much my experience working with government agencies. They'll pay two to ten times more for half the product and the ability to shift blame elsewhere in case things go wrong. It's sad that making comments like these --which are factual-- are often met with comments characterizing the poster as a right wing extremist of some sort. Sad. Open your eyes folks. You have been so utterly brainwashed by the liberal machine you'll bend over backwards to justify the most ridiculous things and ignore the damage this ideology is doing our country. I find it really telling that someone, in response to my billion dollar claim regarding the obamacare website, came back with a number in the $150 million range. And that justifies supporting the incompetence, fraud and thievery this represents? In other words, it's OK they spent $150 million for something that should have cost one to five, at most, because these are "your people". Well, you know what, you pay for it with your money. Not my money. Yours. I don't want to pay for the product of incompetence and fraud. That's just me.
