OHCHUTE

The responsibility rests which those who select the vendor and those who make changes to the software after functional specs have been decided upon. There's so many rules I can't see how any business analysis could have even completed the report in time for software development to even start. Way too many rules, too many players, and too many suppliers= fail.

These leakers are quite revealing. Kerry supposedly hired two top aids who have zero foreign policy experience. So much for transparency in government.

But there won't be a budget if people don't have jobs to pay the taxes so that gov't can operate. Gotcha.

What? You can't buy insurance if there won't be an insurance agent. Also, MI is showing premiums are nearly twice what you can get on the street.

The WP reported today that the insurance co-ops who are the suppliers to the exchanges are broke or nearing bankruptcy. These firms orginally got billions from the Feds, but OBAMA already defunded giving them any more money. FAIL.

OK men, line up over there on the ship and look in that direction. We're going to do an experiment. Hold on tight. This will be over in a few minutes. 50,000 men were a part of the experiment. This 80 year old lived to tell about it. [url]http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2008/sep/21/atomic-vet-recalls/[url]

In light of the fools errand -to defund O-CARE, NOT TOO MANY ARE JOINING TpARTY RANKS. In fact, House members are distancing themselves from T-Party. The way to get growing members to a party is to offer free stuff. Food, healthcare, free college, free housing etc., as democrats have done quite effectively. Republicans need to start PROMOTING: giving middleclass free stuff and in fact, handing out free money. As if the opposition does supply free food, housing, college, etc., the inducement must exceed what opposing forces already supply. Hell Hillary was in VA talking about the Republican's taking away free food during the shutdown. God forbid people go hungry by taking away the free food they get.

Some people know true power: corrupt campaign financing laws, lobbying, gerrymandering, oligarchy, self interested politicians etc., As for the middle class American's glued to Duck Dynasty and the Kardasians, very true: have no idea the power they could have. Voting is not the only way to have power if you think voting wields power. Not buying Genetically Engineered food as a group, is power. Not driving cars, is power. Shutting down an industry for not buying it's products, is power. Mass tax revolt: now that would be true power if you could pull it off.

I presume the bike was stolen too. Now a truck. What is next, murder? US society is way too lenient with perps who start their criminal careers in elementary school working their way up gathering a rap sheet filled with all types of offensives.

I sound like a broken recording regarding school shootings: YOU MUST NOT ALLOW STUDENTS TO ENTER THE BUILDING WITH A WEAPON. Until that is done. Expect more school shootings. There are simply too many guns, and too many nut jobs that ACCESS CONTROL is the only solution.

I presume they elected not to build one. In VA, their website is nothing more than a placemat that redirects to the FED website. Not sure if VA's website constitutes an exchange. Like I said before, exchanges hardly work, especially in this case as IRS, HHS databases need to talk to each other. The Insurance firms are complaining. Use of a Canadian firm for software using decade old technology when US firms using RUBY might have been better. The republicans really screwed up on this one, as they should have simply kept their mouths shut about defunding Obamacare and let it fail on its own account. The people who are attempting to get insurance are the lowest of the low with multiple chronic illnesses. Which will undoubtedly increase the cost to healthcare across the board.

So when you ride your bicycle to the scene of the crime to steal a pickup, at least be smart enough to put your bicycle in the back of the truck that you are stealing? Driver should have locked his truck. Driver should have laid in wait for perp to return to get his bike. Driver should have had a firearm. Why is any cop needed? If kids are riding around on bicycles stealing workmans pickup trucks then I'd say, there needs to be more attention paid to keeping any eye on the truck.

If a state doesn't have a healthcare exchange, but a person from that state signs on to the FEDS healthcare website to buy insurance: THEY DON'T GET A SUBSIDY to help pay the premium. State shouldn't be libel for any tax fine. State is not a tax payer. It seems, if the state doesn't have a website then many people of that state will not subscribe to the healthcare as they won't get the subsidy. Chances are, they will not subscribe to the FEDs website for the same reason. They attempted to induce states to build their own sites but many didn't. Only those states that have healthcare websites will get tax breaks which will go to pay subsidies. http://www.ibj.com/state-public-schools-sue-federal-government-over-obamacare/PARAMS/article/43946 Judge is suppose to supply ruling tomorrow at 10 AM.

The topic is a bit more complicated than a 100 minute documentary can cover, even if it's a more honest one than a Michael Moore offering. It takes two sides for an investment con - the seller and the buyer. To be fraud, the buyer has to be unaware of what he is buying. They were not. Sorry, but that is not so in this case. I happen to be first-hand familiar with a lot of specific evidence in this case. Each of the securities at issue in this case were comprised of many mortgages bundled together into individual securities; then the securities were sold off in blocs. Of course, the investors had a duty to exercise their own due diligence into the quality of those securities before buying them - and that's essentially your point. But banks such as JPM, Bank of America, etc. deliberately concealed the fact that many of the mortgage loan accounts comprising the securities were of sub-standard underwriting quality and/or already had troubled repayment histories, and they did so in such a way that those facts would not be uncovered until too late, despite investors' and govt regulators' due diligence. In other words, albeit in a very over-simplified nutshell, the banks cooked the books and made deliberate misstatements in quarterly earnings statements to investors, and in their 10-Qs and 10-Ks filed with the SEC, for the specific purpose of concealing the sub-standard quality of the securities from investors' and analysts' due diligence investigations. They were selling snake oil, and they knew it, but passing it off as the real deal, and doing it in such a way that deliberately hid what they were doing. That was the fraud. The fraud was only uncovered (with the help of inside whistleblowers) when the mortgage accounts underlying the securities began to crumble, causing the securities to crumble. By the way (to everyone), there is in fact an active criminal investigation ongoing that may very well implicate individual top executives of JPM and other top banks for criminal prosecution. This ain't over by a long shot. Rating firms (S&P) were also involved in rating junk AAA, that the buyer of the Mortgage Backed Securities thought they were good investments when they were not. PLUS, having insurance (AIG) in the event of failure was also an inducement. Fact of the matter is: they all knew it was a PONZI, with Lehman Bros., ending up with the bag of worthless paper. It was all about earning commissions on selling a bunch of worthless paper. Criminal charges are still pending even though there is discussion about paying a fine. I gather only the fine will be paid, cost of doing business, and no one will go to jail. BTW: they're doing this now with College Loan Debt Securities which is the next bubble...

Tea Party needs to concentrate on: more jobs, better economy, lower tuition costs, lower food costs, a safer environment, less war, more indictments of wall street criminals, a way to legal immigration, etc., instead of worrying about women, and being obstructionists. They will lose the VA governors race based on this fact.

I went to a state farm/ fair show this year and quite frankly, sheep, llamas, cows, cows, and even chickens looked better than some of the women, and men, walking around.... It's amazing how ugly people look when they are overweight, no matter their political persuasion.

Hoorah for sending gov't workers home, and paying them for not working for two weeks. I heard the casino at Maryland Live, in the heart of Federal Gov. land, just miles from NSA was pretty busy all week. Federal workers on vacation! You've got to be kidding. The shutdown cost the US taxpayer zillions.

Well, no actually, you don't. To break the rule of the corporations, you remove the rules and regulations that are designed to give them an advantage and not let the little man break through. If you want to take the big man's money, you take his customers away. So tell me why in 2010, GE earned $14 Billion in profits and paid no taxes (actually got government hand outs) while small businesses in the U.S. paid the highest tax rates in the world? And how is the little man supposed to compete under those circumstances? Yep, wall street stifles free enterprise. They don't want small business competitors. They want everyone slogging at the corporation working in cubes or as greeters at the door. Let face it: once supply of goods is consolidated via the stock public firms, there's little hope for any supply via the mom and pop, and mom and pop were responsible for much employment. Goodbye free enterprise, enslaved by wall street operatives. Even crop seeds are under attack to be taken for corporate greed to control food production. Soon, the small farmer won't be allowed to use his one seed, but must buy from the corp. 11 million illegal immigrants were referred to as potential "customers" in the WP today for the prison industry, owned by stock firms, looking to make a profit on incarcerating people for no good reason. The more cells they fill the more money they get from the Federal Gov't and the more profit they make and the more stock they can sell. SCAM. The wall street corporation systems is failing America evidenced by: law makers owned by corporate lobbies.

Fearing the worst, they're saying defaulting, due to not raising the debt limit, won't effect US credit rating.

There's been a financial war. The rich, and wall street dogs, have taken the wealth of the nation via their ponzi schemes. Middle class is shrinking. True, money is the greatest weapon as it wields tremendous power. For instance: having to pay $250,000 that only the rich can afford for a report that will lead to sure bets in the market that the average Joe doesn't have access to, is one example. Rich get richer. We are seeing the rich battling it out for campaign finance laws that allow further demise of the middle class. It's all about money and power. The public has little as they are not organized enough. Corporations (stock firms) rule.

You should live around here if you think the gov't doesn't create wealth: how about wealthy gov't workers who don't even go to work or while at work, are working on their own enterprises. Then consider retired gov't workers who are making more than they were working! Lot's of Lincolns and Mercedes coming out of government parking lots. Housing prices are double than in most places. Then there is the beltway bandits who have literally surrounded the capital sucking of the big tit getting fat. Gov't creates wealth believe me. Funneling money from one place to another doesn't create wealth. This applies to the government as much as it applies to banks and to stock traders. But if the Fed Res. creates money out of thin air and that money eventually turns into real estate, cars and diamonds, then that is creating wealth. I guess it depends too on your definition of wealth, for instance you're wealthy so long there's not tubes hanging off your body or a drool cup around your neck. Let alone sucking off that air bottle. Rich is a state of mind. As long a money can be printed at will, it doesn't represent true wealth. "If," he said tersely, "we could for a moment move on to the subject of fiscal policy ..." "Fiscal policy!" whooped Ford Prefect. "Fiscal policy!" The management consultant gave him a look that only a lungfish could have copied. "Fiscal policy ..." he repeated, "that is what I said." "How can you have money," demanded Ford, "if none of you actually produces anything? It doesn't grow on trees you know." "If you would allow me to continue ..." Ford nodded dejectedly. "Thank you. Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich." Ford stared in disbelief at the crowd who were murmuring appreciatively at this and greedily fingering the wads of leaves with which their track suits were stuffed. "But we have also," continued the management consultant, "run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, which means that, I gather, the current going rate has something like three deciduous forests buying one ship's peanut." Murmurs of alarm came from the crowd. The management consultant waved them down. "So in order to obviate this problem," he continued, "and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on a massive defoliation campaign, and ... er, burn down all the forests. I think you'll all agree that's a sensible move under the circumstances." The crowd seemed a little uncertain about this for a second or two until someone pointed out how much this would increase the value of the leaves in their pockets whereupon they let out whoops of delight and gave the management consultant a standing ovation. The accountants among them looked forward to a profitable autumn. "You're all mad," explained Ford Prefect. "You're absolutely barmy," he suggested. "You're a bunch of raving nutters," he opined. True wealth? So someone who inherits money they didn't earn themselves are not wealthy as it's not true wealth. What is false wealth then? As long as you have money to buy stuff, lot of stuff, stuff you don't even need, or to throw away, then I'd say you are wealthy no matter how the money was created, printed, digitally formed, before you got it.

I'll quickly point out that every poll I have seen agrees that it is the American People who do not want Obamacare. I'm undecided on where I stand regarding the Republican gamesmanship. Both parties do it routinely. Hard to throw stones when they all live in glass houses. Oddly, it doesn't seem to dissuade any of them. The real problem in my eyes is this: nobody is leading us toward a solution. Nobody is even discussing a balanced budget. For that matter, nobody is discussing passing a budget. They are only talking about passing stop-gap measures and borrowing more money. I'm against both. But I seem to a terribly small minority who thinks we should have a balanced budget and live within our means. Political games. Temper tantrums. Blame. Death. Doom. Destruction. Distraction worthy of a great illusionist IMO. Pre Obamacare we paid for medical services for the uninsured through higher medical prices. Now that we are subsidizing paying for insurance premiums and the medical services we pay even higher prices. Not even considering the raise in medical servicing costs to treat many of these newbie who have multiple chronic illnesses. What not to hate. It would be better to continue servicing the uninsured at the emergency ward without having to fund their insurance premium to get the same service.

Sorry forgot the big macs and monster drinks...

It's all about money. Wall Street is too powerful to allow a civil war. The banks keep just enough money in circulation to avoid civil disobedience. Remember, if people don't have money then the rich can't get richer.... That's a fact. Look now, Miley Cyrus draws more attention than the gov't shut down. People don't care as they have enough money to buy gas, T shirts, dope, beer, rent money. When there's not enough money for beer, rent etc.. then all hell might break loose.
