“My overall sense, right from day one, was it was created by people who had never created a commercial database application before," said FMS Software developer Luke Chung.
Chung looked over the site and was stunned by the code and the cost - by some estimates, perhaps $200 million.
Chung continued, “At $200 an hour, that would be a million man hours, 5,000 man years. I don't think they had time to use 5,000 man years. So I don't know where the money went. I don't know what these people were doing. There're not that many web pages. I don't get it! Where'd the money go?"

Congress should investigate where the money went.
Good point...they should have just had the people who run the NSA set this up and operate it.
Yes, read it and weep. This is typical for anything that Washington puts its hands on.

Welcome to Obamacare 101.

Really not that outrageous for a project of this magnitude.
Except, of course, for the fact that it doesn’t work.
Just like all the other guvmit “jobs” that were created out of the blue for this Kenyan.
They are given to his bros from the ghetto, his freinds from ‘kill whitey’ church, his campaign contributors, Laqueesha the single mom with 9 kids now making $70k a year at her guvmit desk.
I guarantee every person involved in th creation of that website is a minority and had no job before this and no past experience. Affirmative action hires, every one.
That's a pretty good ROI.
It's good to be a crony™
A little off topic, but here is a great example:

“Review of US surveillance programs to be led by panel of intelligence insiders...
List of apparent panel members prompts criticism among privacy advocates after Obama promised ‘independent’ review”
Stunning how some still think obamacare is good.
This regime can’t even get a website working, they then tell us the cost will be better for us all and yet we see hundreds of millions spent on a failed website and then premiums go up.
These supporters have got to be in a cult mode or something, they have to as they can’t be that stupid, can they?
Into the black ops budget to feed the Mooch.
which then goes to donations for the next election.
The mafia have nothing on the Chicago regime and the Dems.
This article (citing USASpending.GOV) puts the costs much higher than that:
“The site so far has cost American taxpayers more than $630.4 million, nearly seven times its original estimate of $93 million...”
