Does this actually surprise anyone? We've spent $634 million taxpayer dollars so far for a disastrously bad web site – vastly more than even the highest-volume web sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) spent developing theirs. And their sites, like, work.
Elections have consequences. As H.L. Mencken said: “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” I feel my nether regions hurting already...
What I want to know, is how the company won the bid with an estimate of 90 million, but somehow managed to get over 600 million for the job. A job that could have been done by any number of companies for a tiny fraction of that 90 million. And somehow, while I'm at a company dealing with medical devices and having to take great pains to protect patient health information, that website is busily sharing data all over.
