Obama and his administration have never been forthcoming
about the actual costs of the most visible manifestation of the Obamacare
debacle – a failed and as yet not fully functional website. The best available
information put the cost of failure at around 677 million dollars – but as with
most government disclosures, particularly embarrassing ones, you can expect
that the all in costs will be more than 100 % higher than reported by the Obama
administration.
And now, Golly Gee ….
From the Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) watchdog group comes a report that
itemizes and details all of the money spent by the Obama administration on the Obamacare
implementation so far, including state aid, at more than 4.4 billion dollars !
Isn’t our government
just absolutely fantastic in returning value to us for our taxes ? I mean, My
Gawd, what A bargain ! What A Bargain ! WHAT A BARGAIN !!! …. at only 4.4 billion dollars, really you
know, we just don’t deserve to be this fortunate under Obama’s stewardship.
Because under Roosevelt’s, World War II cost us about
341,000,000 billion or about 700,000,000
billion in today’s dollars – wait a minute, wait a minute, isn’t that what we
spent to bail out Wall Street bankers just a few years ago ? (actually it went
over 1.2 trillion when the smoke finally cleared but who’s gonna quibble about
500,000,000 billion dollars here and there ?).
BUT then MAYBE some other perspective IS in order about Obamacare –
This one for instance
is currently making the internet rounds but obviously was sent in by some malcontent
or other senior citizen type who surely has it “in” for Obama – no doubt he’s
some white conservative dude who spends all of his time watching Fox News, is mentally
impaired more or less and is probably a bigot to boot … Yeah, no doubt !
“During the 3-1/2 years of World War II that started with
the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the
Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, the U.S. Produced 22 aircraft carriers,
8 battleships, 48 cruisers, 349 destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203
submarines, 34 million tons of merchant ships, 100,000 fighter aircraft, 98,000
bombers, 24,000 transport aircraft, 58,000 training aircraft, 93,000 tanks,
257,000 artillery pieces, 105,000 mortars, 3,000,000 machine guns, and 2,500,000
military trucks.
We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed
services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the
Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across Europe and the Pacific,
developed the atomic bomb and ultimately conquered both Japan and Germany.
It's worth noting, that during the almost exact same amount
of time, Obama and his administration couldn't build a fucking web site !”
No, but they’ve made stealing and lying about it to the American people into an art form and just imagine how much fun you’re going to have when you actually try to get some of that good ole’ Obamacare in the future anyway …..
