Putting Things In Perspective

"Putting things in perspective: March 21st 2010 to October 1 2013 is 3 years, 6 months, 10 days. December 7, 1941 to May 8, 1945 is 3 years, 5 months, 1 day. What this means is that in the time we were attacked at Pearl Harbor to the day Germany surrendered is not enough time for this progressive federal government to build a working webpage. Mobilization of millions, building tens of thousands of tanks, planes, jeeps, subs, cruisers, destroyers, torpedoes, millions upon millions of guns, bombs, ammo, etc. Turning the tide in North Africa, Invading Italy, D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, Race to Berlin - all while we were also fighting the Japanese in the Pacific!! And in that amount of time - this administration can't build a working webpage."

A few 20 year olds built that website on their own in just a few days. Now take that $600+ million dollars into perspective. It's pure absurdity!

The war effort on the "Home Front" required sacrifices and cooperation.

Price controls, shortages of everything from nylons to housing, forced "volunteering", government takeover of factories and so on.

There is no comparison to a webpage made by a contractor.

Contractors are infamous for not meeting deadlines, finding cheap labor/parts and pocketing the difference.

If this website had been handled by a competent company, it would've worked fine from day 1 and cost far less.
