Obama's Stewardship, the cost of Obamacare .... Really ? You're Surprised ?

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 …..
