Why the heck does it cost $18 million to remake a website?

$18 million for a web site?

Well, it is government work.

Growing the economy by developing a super cool web site. Whoo-Hoo!

“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. “Armed with easy access to this information, taxpayers can make government more accountable for its decisions.”

Except, of course, for the $18 million that it takes to redo a website that just went live four months ago, right Mr. Williams?

"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."

Well, uhm...for starters, I'm concerned about spending $18M for a website. A website of lies. Will we receive details on where exactly the $18M are being used?

Some $18 million “stimulus” contract has been awarded to some FOB (friend of Barak) and probably they will claim 10 new jobs were created

Thass how it works, dog

Yeah, foreign programmers doing the jobs Americans don’t want to do ....

Too bad ‘the best and the brightest’ doesn’t apply to Congress.

“The GSA announced that the web site that tracks where stimulus dollars are being spent is about to get a redesign at a cost of $18 million dollars.”

Stalling, delaying tactic typical of the Left. It’s an excuse for not performing as they committed to do. “Web site under construction. Check back at a later date”

I’d like to take a $600 hammer to the heads of congress and then give them a swirly under a $2000 toilet seat.

Disgusting.
Look for family and friends involved in this website.

So, please explain to me why anyone would think the “stimulus” bill would actually stimulate the economy?

$18 million for that is obscene.
