If the webservers that serve out pages for such things as the National Park Service and such are offline because of the government shutdown, why are the computer systems that take tax money out of my paycheck still up and running? It would seem to me that something that provides a service to the nation would be at least as important as something that parasitizes the nation’s lifeblood.

/ October 5, 2013A better question is;
Why is the bummer-care website even UP (let alone having more money thrown at it in the form of ‘getting fixed’ over the weekend) while other existing and stable website have been ‘shut down’ (only not really as it took more money to create the ‘content’ saying they were closed than just turning off the servers), when the entirety of the budget impasse is all about funding for bummer-care?

/ October 5, 2013Excellent question. If the Obamacare websites are ‘more essential’ than the others, then I’d love to hear the explanation of how they got that designation.
