director Julie Bataille told reporters on Tuesday that CMS has begun emailing at least 275,000 people who had gotten “stuck”

How many government departments use email for official communication with citizens? The opportunities for even more spamming and scamming continue to grow.

Of course! IT WAS DEVELOPED BY THE BIGGEST SCAMMERS OF THEM ALL!!!!................

If the Tech’s can’t fix it, dump it. There comes a point when throwing good money after bad is rediculous.

If I were Congress, I would sue the original provider of the software for a full refund, assuming they have not already hidden the money someplace. (Fat chance of ever getting the money back)

Another billion dollar boondoggle.

Aren’t Marxists grand...

Shouldn’t have been written in COBAL on a TRS-80 hooked up to a toaster and a solar calculator

`COBOL’ COmon Business Oriented Language.

I do want to say “Bless you” for properly capitalizing an acronym. That is so rare nowadays. And I *love* the TRS-80 reference.

P.S. My first was FORTRAN.

P.P.S. If you is a typical college student today, there is still COBOL code running today that is older than you are; possibly older than your parents. (In the late 1990s one of our asst. sysops graduated and went to work and a big insurance company programming in [wait for it...] “structured COBOL” -his words.)

Hey come on Red, Obama and friends only had three and a half years and a half billion dollars to get the website right...

Maybe more money and time were needed.

It's hard creating a website that sells a product... it's not like hundreds of thousands of companies and individuals have figured it out. Give ‘em a break. /s
