$1.2 Billion?

The country got off cheap. Remember the stimulus package? That was damn near $1 trillion and the country has nothing to show for it.

Don't worry, we will get the money back. HusseinCare is supposed to lower the deficit, Obama said so himself.

And here's an article from today that predicts that employer supplied health care will disappear in about 10 years. And all of those employees will get tossed into the Odumbocare mess.

As someone else objectively observed earlier. The term Useful idiot doesn't even come close to describing you.

Any proof there that backs up your profound observations?

And Serco, a UK based company was already under investigation for overbilling the government there.

At the same time, the company was being investigated for overbilling the British government tens of millions of pounds.

They sound as competent as the company who failed on the web site rollout ... where Michelle's college friend held a VP position.

No, I just assume it's bullshit. Paid to do nothing? They might have been paid. They might have done nothing. But they weren't paid to do nothing.

No this is just more made up right wing whack job bullshit.

So employees, who have been verified as working for this company, have stated the following:

Employees told the local television station that they are instructed to simply stare at a computer screen and hit refresh every 10 minutes.

Hitting a refresh on your PC every 10 minutes is work? And a goal of processing 2 applications a month is work? Sorry, no one ... even the most lazy person you might find would say that is work. It's a handout .... something ($$$$$) for essentially nothing.
