18 MILLION freaking dollars to re-vamp and maintain recovery.gov so we can all see where the "stimulus" money is going? I just heard this on NPR, are they freaking kidding us? Fox News just had this on as well.

Hmmmm...committees aren't very efficent.

Rosetta's competitor (a state university sponsored and Federal government funded website) spend $4.4 million to do what we did for less than $100K.

And no they don't do it nearly as well as we do, either.

Your debt star looks like the death star from episode vi not episode iv.

well, given that you haven't provided a link, i'm wondering where you got the number....

*edit* ok, i looked at your link... it's 18 million through 2014... is that out of the ordinary? is it inconsistent with contracts awarded during the last 8 years when you didn't care what they spent money on?

how does it compare to what we paid haliburton or blackwater over what it would have cost for our military to do their jobs?

Please stop embarrassing yourself.

"We know we cannot intelligently defend this, so first we will believe you're making it all up. When you show us you are not, then we will pretend you didn't show us. After that embarrassment, then we will still attempt to defend this nonsense because we are hopelessly devoted to Obama and are mindless little cult followers. We will do anything other than address the topic, and will instead dissemble, deflect, blame Booooosh and otherwise simply troll. Because we have learned from The Obama that since we cannot dazzle with brilliance, we will try to baffle with bullshit."

Ahh.... The old "Mom, the other kid did it too" deflection. Where's the change?

nope... don't go there... i asked if it was UNREASONABLE in light of other similar expenditures....

answer that question and then I'll know if it's just more psuedo rage from the right.

First of all, I am not "from the right" and not even center-right.

Secondly, there is NO WAY $18 MILLION freakin dollars spent re-vamping and maintaining a website for even TEN years, much less five, is "reasonable."

Comparing Obama to Booooosh really sets the bar low doesn't it? Can you see how stupid that is?
