Flustercluck would be a good also.

Frankly Scarlett I would prefer the more accurate CLUCK.

But Hey, you are running the show and you seem to know what you are doing so...

[Pharmboy]

...but then you would need at least 50 people to liaise with the gummint bureaucrats that would annoy you, slow productivity, waste your time and make you take them to lunch.

But thanks for this...I believe all of what you say.

Isn’t it likely then that most of the money spent on this “fusterclick” found its way into the offshore bank accounts of certain individuals and campaign coffers? Politicians never miss a chance to fleece the taxpayers.

We all know Gunny's assessment of the Obamacare website.

Laz, your healthcare website would have been peopled by healthy and pretty ladies.

You forgot one thing.

Who's gonna screw in the lightbulb?

[SES1066]

You failed to include Michelle’s schoolmate and her company. Gee, do you think that had anything to do with this ... ?

[Berlin_Freeper]

What we said when we said what we said was FUSTERCLICK. Period.

Looks like one contractor did a decent framework and then handed it all off to a bunch of n00bs

“Knowing” the legislation might be a bigger problem than you think.

[Vigilanteman]

if I had the following team . . .

. . . I have no doubt at all that you could have delivered a functioning website for $12 million or so, tops.

But, on one hand, you didn't make a sizable contribution to the ObaMao campaign for a no bid contract.

And, on the other, what good does a well functioning cash register do for a store selling a tainted and defective product except postpone the inevitable?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

You would have charged $15 million and 3 years? I have no idea how these websites are made but I heard prices as low as $50 grand and as short a time as 3 months. I mean what is the whole point of this website? To sign people up to an insurance plan. So why would this take 3 years and millions of dollars?

[Errant]

While you are obviously super tech savvy, you lack the necessary experience of working with government. It's not about how much you can SAVE, it's about how much you can SPEND... ;-)

Cheap and efficient subcontractors like yourself are a dime a dozen. Therefore the need to hire someone like Michele's "Ivy League" classmate as the non-compete prime contractor. She is much better at assembling a team capable of creative cost increase justification and knowledgeable about distributing excessive profits, beyond a common business professional's imagination, "appropriately".

Have they even exceeded a 1B dollar cost yet? Mild by the comparision of other government IT projects - go check it out...

[FreedomPoster]

Bump!

And we should have lunch some time in Dec. I have interesting news.

[BipolarBob]

Trademark the term. You may get rich yet.

[MrsEmmaPeel]

I would not have charged 300 million, I would have charged 12 million -- maybe even 15!.... and we would have all gotten EXTREMELY wealthy on it.

It used to be for LESS THAN the cost of a poorly designed, insecure, inefficient website, we could go to Mars and back, employ a lot more people, conduct a lot of neat scientific experiments and have tons of spare change.
