Experts stunned at cost for Healthcare.gov website development
My FOX-TV DC ^ | October 22, 2013

Posted on 10/22/2013 6:05:39 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

“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 really needs to investigate just where all that money really went.>

The same CON-gress that Obama has in his pocket?

What happened today that's inspiring you to make these posts?

Mind you, my sister and I are of the same mind. I'm thinking Panama, she the DR. I just think neither are far enough away from the US.

"Democrats can lose money with no accountability."

Right - and Newt Gingrich can lose his job over invalid use of a copy machine.

Congress should investigate where the money went.

Unfortunately, we are talking about the same Congress that 'investigated' Fast & Furious, Bengazi, and the Political Weaponization of the IRS and the Solendra and similar 'green energy' ripoffs.

We'll get the same results. Nothing.

If a person brought a perfect running car into my shop I would charge more to destroy or sabotage it than if it came in with a real problem in the first place, because it would require more time and effort to masterfully create hidden problems.

Which sums up all of Obamas history.

We’re just gonna simplify the process and make it a single payer plan.

You better make that a single prayer plan.

“CGI got a no-bid contract because they donated to the Obama campaign. Unfortunately this will most likely not be reported about in the MSM, and no question about this will ever be asked in the White House briefing room or at a Presidential press conference.”

I’m sure our fearless Republican establishment will be out there demanding answers and the media, sensing a scandal, will do detailed investigations about this debacle. Okay, maybe not...

Red Ink RINO Issa has no intention of deviating from his drip-drip-drip Chinese torture style of crime and punishment !

The sorry Red Ink Republicans in the US House would NEVER consider a Special Prosecutor to investigate the scandal-plagued IRS.

The reason - - - they do not want to risk their well-earned status of being the very best Democrat’s Republicans that any Red Ink Democrat could hope for.

It’s called back door reparations... it’s never been about healthcare.

Bingo. That. And control.

We all knew it was going to jack our money, cost far more than said by the Rats, and don’t forget, not one republican voted for this theft of basic rights and taxpayer dollars.

If our gov’t held ‘money-burning’ parties for their own amusement it would not surprise me.. After all.. That is basically what they do now.
