Anybody, Nobody, Somebody

From Sunday's New York Post

The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said Obamacare’s Web site, already a tangled mess, might need to be rebuilt from scratch to protect against cyber-thieves because he fears it’s not a safe place right now for health-care consumers to deposit their personal information.

“ I know that they’ve called in another private entity to try to help with the security of it. The problem is, they may have to redesign the entire system,” Rep. Mike Rogers said on Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” political talk show. “The way the system is designed, it is not secure.”

All those who are surprised, please raise your hands. No? Nobody? Anybody? Somebody?

It's amazing that 20-20 hindsight is so clear when you look at "woulda" and "shoulda". Like "if the Republicans allowed the government to function as it should, would the Democrats have taken the brunt of the public's wrath because the Obamacare website wasn't working" and "should have the Republicans not tried to defund Obamacare, would it have collapsed from its own inefficiencies"? I wonder.

So, how many hundreds of millions of dollars were spent on this debacle, between the cost of an inefficient and unworkable  computer program which, according to the people who worked for the company which designed this piece of junk, cannot provide a confirmation of the data entered by the subscriber, which as any person knows, is key to making certain fraud was not committed, and also the advertising which, since 2010 when this nightmare was pushed through the Congress with not one Republican vote, has continuously told us that the greatest thing since sliced bread was on the horizon, to help us all prevent the fraud and identity threat which for those who have "registered" with no confirmation provided, are probably going to be victims of the fraud prevention and identity theft which will occur. Or, was that BILLIONS?

And now, it might all have to be scrapped, because it would cost more to fix it than to restart and rebuild it from scratch. Wait, isn't that the government's way, to waste even more money than it has? Anybody? Somebody? Nobody?

And what about the "champions" of this nightmare, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, who spoke of the "benefits" to all of us, without having read it before passing it, with all the smoke and mirrors built in to deceive us, or the Magician-In-Chief, for whom this garbage is his namesake, because this trash is his "signature" accomplishment? The first two are silent and the third wants to talk about, of all things, immigration reform, another issue with a whole host of beautiful deceptions to connive and deceive the American sheeple.

And, finally, who will be held accountable for the ultimate failure to have this all working properly in, oh, I don't know, July maybe, so that it could have, or should have, been tested with "live" people before it was rolled out on its due date? Umm, again, probably Nobody. That guy, Nobody, is a real screw-up, isn't he? I hope Somebody gets fired, because if Nobody does get fired, Anybody will have gotten away with it. Again.

And, that, my friends is how accountability after an investigation  to get to the "bottom of it" happens in Washington these days. A lot of bluster when a problem surfaces, followed by a period of inaction, resulting in Nobody getting fired and Somebody getting promoted.

Does Anybody have a question? How DARE you!
