$1.5 Billion To Obamacare Contractor, And The Result?
They've processed only five percent of their anticipated workload under Obamacare. They said they were prepared to manage 6.2 million paper applications. They actually processed 271,341, according to a KMOV Freedom of Information Act.

KMOV posts:

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV.com) -- After months of waiting, the Federal government responded to News 4's request for information on an Affordable Care Act application processing center in Wentzville, Missouri.

In May 2014, employees at the Wentzville facility run by Serco complained to News 4 that they were sitting around with no work to do.

One employee told News 4 they passed the time by playing "Pictionary on a dry erase board. We played 20 questions."

Employees at the plants in Kentucky and Arkansas, also hired to process the paper applications for theACA, made the same claims.

The final bit in the piece -- about the stark difference in projected and actually processed applications:

None of this should have been a surprise to federal workers as Serco's contract with CMS stipulates that the company must submit reports on the number of applications processed every month.

How many of you could run a business not connected to government and stay in business?

Who lobbied whom to get this contract and where are their mansions and yachts? (All your base belong to us -- or should. But that's not how government booty works, even when it doesn't work out.)

I had a talk with a friend on Saturday night about small government. I'm for it, and so is she. But will enough people see the merits of it that they vote out the current system and those perpetuating it?

Doubtful, sadly.

I don't think it'll happen until it's far too late.
