On Christmas Eve, it will be three years and nine months since President Barack Obama signed the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, into law.
Seven decades ago, it took less time — 3 years, 8 months and 26 days, from December 7, 1941, to September 2, 1945— for the nation to endure the attack on Pearl Harbor, rebuild an undermanned and underequipped military, put the nation’s industrial might on a wartime footing, prosecute World War II, complete the Manhattan Project, and force the surrender of Nazi Germany and Japan.
Now we’re supposed to believe, even when given virtually unlimited resources, a 42-month head start, and another three months to make corrections, that the people in our government and the contractors who serve it are so breathtakingly stupid and incredibly incompetent that they can’t properly set up Obamacare’s bureaucracy, create functioning online and offline consumer interfaces, and build the systems required to communicate and interact with insurance companies participating in its federal exchanges.
The thesis is that they could not possibly be that incompetent. No website security, no payment back end. It looks as if it is designed to fail and fast.
That may be true; and I have penned more than a few articles about using this to achieve the final agenda, of which single-payer is an admitted objective. But after watching them mishandle so many other things I think the incompetnece is legitiamte, that Obama is that bad of a leader, and they are simply hoping to reach their desired end running damage-control to keep the ship a-float until they can let it sink at the dock in single-payer bay, with as few Democrat casualties as possible.
