Her point was that Amazon handles more transactions, much better, and makes money doing it, and didn't cost the tax-payer half a billion dollars.
The liberals are beginning to lose some around the edges with Obamacare.

Not only does Amazon do it much better, but they’re incredibly short-staffed. I’ve had a couple head-hunters and two programmers - independently - try to get me to interview there (I quit my job as an IT Director in Feb and live about 4 blocks away from Amazon’s South Lake Union campus - there’s like...30 of their programmers in my building)
I thought it was odd - yes, I’m that good but, I’m expert at the SMB level, not global enterprise - so I poked around Amazon’s carreer page and did a search for “manager” in Seattle: I don’t know what it is right now but 1 1/2 months ago my query netted 72 pages of returns will 20 hits per page.
Yes...they’re doing the job they do, as well as they do it, 1400 managers short. God knows how many general staff they’re shy of.
They’re able to function because, from day one, Bezos empowered the staff to make decisions. Many of Amazon’s features - like SuperSaver - were initiated by programmers who are allowed to use resourses without approval to put ideas together and present them to management, as opposed to having management decide to do it and farm it out for development.
Good luck doing that with a governmental organisation.
I have a lib Facebook friend (girl)...she voted for Obama TWICE...and is furious about Obamacare, plus the WWII Memorial episode.
